Connection reset by peer?

[Hamid Ghassemi]

We seem to be getting the following error ever since upgrading to cvs
1.11.17

>>>>>>>>>> Fetching directory src/com/foo/apps/util/sysstats
cvs [checkout aborted]: recv() from server peterpan.dev.net: Connection
reset by peer

We are using RedHat 7.1 for client running the same version of CVS and
our server is a debian linux.

Thanks
