The server is running on a solaris machine.
I connected to the server via ssh and did the following:

I started "cvs update" of the remote repositiory on my local machine. 

While cvs update was still running on the server is ran "ps":

On the server:
ps -auwx | fgrep quam
quam     21368  0.1  0.1 1040  760 pts/4    S 18:47:30  0:00 fgrep quam
quam     21304  0.0  0.2 2192 1888 pts/4    S 18:40:37  0:00 -tcsh
quam     21353  0.0  0.2 2120 1856 ?        S 18:45:08  0:00 tcsh -c cvs server
quam     21358  0.0  0.2 2296 1488 ?        S 18:45:08  0:00 cvs server

After "cvs update" hung without exiting I ran:

On the server:
ps -auwx | fgrep quam
quam     21304  0.1  0.2 2192 1888 pts/4    S 18:40:37  0:00 -tcsh
quam     21374  0.0  0.1 1040  760 pts/4    S 18:51:42  0:00 fgrep quam

As you can see, "cvs server" and "tcsh -c cvs server" exited on the
server side.  But ssh on the client (local) side is hung.

On the client (local) side (a linux machine):
ps -elf | fgrep cvs
000 S quam     19630 19546  0  69   0    -   784 pipe_w 18:44 pts/2    00:00:00 
cvs update
100 S quam     19631 19630  0  69   0    -   753 do_sel 18:44 pts/2    00:00:00 
ssh cowell -l quam cvs server
