The ,v file could possibly exceed the ability of your system to mmap it
into memory. Do you have enough free memory and/or swap on your system?
You may need/want to rebuild your cvs executable and manually hack the
config.h file to '#undef HAVE_MMAP' to see if that solves your problem.

        Good luck,
