I just checked out CVS, compiled it and --version says:

With this I imported two test modules using MacCVSClient,
zlib data stream compression level 3. I use a MacCVSClient
beta because the current 1.9 cannot cope with truncated paths
in server responses. However, this beta uses the standard
Mac OS X zlib as all previous versions did. So no change there.

Both imports worked fine with 1.12.11.1. I double checked
them against a 1.12.10 CVS where they both failed and caused
MacCVSClient to wait and wait and wait...

So, I'd say you nailed it! Good detective work. ;-) And
sorry for the delay in testing this.

Cheers,
Joerg
