You are most likely running out of virtual memory or TMP diskspace
somewhere along the way.

The rule of thumb I use is that my server needs to have enough virtual
memory to contain two copies of the particular RCS format ,v file. So,
see how big weblea.war,v is and figure that you need to keep two copies
of it in memory on the server, a copy of the most recent version on disk
in a temporary directory on the server, then on the client machine, you
need to be able to keep a bit more than one copy of the file in memory
as well as writing the file into your sandbox directory.

Getting a broken pipe is often an indication that you have run out of
memory somewhere along the line, although there may be other causes as
well.

You might try

  cvs -t update -P weblea.war

to see more closely where the problem is arising.

        Good luck,
        -- Mark
