"cvs [commit aborted]: memory exhausted" error

[Andrew Michael Levin]

Hi,

I am trying to remove a large file from cvs. When I remove the file
locally, and then do cvs remove, and then do cvs commit, I get the
following messages:

$ cvs commit -m "removed file"
cvs commit: Examining .
**** Access allowed: Personal Karma exceeds Environmental Karma.
cvs [commit aborted]: memory exhausted

How can circumvent this error?

Thanks.

Andrew
