problem when using shell script to checkout huge binary files (>70MB)

[Veronica Zhu]

Hi,

I use Java Runtime.getRuntime().exec() to execute a shell script.
This shell script does cvs checkout of project repositories 
into user directories for web based file browsing.

It works great for all files EXCEPT huge binary files whose size is
about 70 Mega Bytes. The directory, which should contain those 
large files, was checkout as an empty directory. (No errors observed.)
However, at the same time, other directories with smaller files 
were checkout normally with expected files.

It doesn't look like the Java problem, because I can use the
same Java function to execute a shell script that copy the huge
file from one folder to another one. Well, cvs checkout
works OK for the large files when doing so in win-cvs windows.
The server is Red Hat Linux 7.1 and uses 
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.1p1 (client/server).

I have searched mailing-list of cvs with no luck.
Any one has any ideas ? 
Any input will be greatly appreciated!!
