Unless you're trying to debug something in the authentication protocol,
it's much simpler to debug using :fork: than pserver.  You can set the
$CVS_SERVER_SLEEP environment variable to make the server sleep for the
specified number of seconds to give you time to attach to it.  You can
also set $CVS_CLIENT_LOG to capture a client/server session and then run
the server under a debugger with it's input redirected from the client
log file so you don't need an active client process while debugging.
