Nothing unusual.  Just

cvs commit -m "Checking the checkin." latex.el

should be about it.  It was something like that (only with a longer
message) that caused the first hang.  The version I had checked out
before that was the head, 5.180.

I can't completely guarantee that when I use PCVS from within Emacs
that the command line is the same, but it is printed as

-- last cmd: cvs -f commit -m <log message> latex.el --

The only thing I can still do is to make a clean checkout of the
whole repository.

(checking)
Uh, in CVS/Entries, I have the line
/latex.el/5.180/Sat Feb 28 14:32:37 2004//T

and the `T' is pretty much unique.  I am deleting it and try again.
Maybe whatever caused it to appear there is causing the trouble.
