Extra weirdness.
This local check of the remote pathname seems to be done only for
"checkout".
The literal command:
% cvs -t -d :ext:cvsuser@xxxxxx.yyy.net:/home/user checkout something
hangs on our affected systems (where "cd /home/user" hangs)
but:
% cvs -t -d :ext:user@xxxxxx.yyy.net:/home/user update
goes ahead and aborts because xxxxxx.yyy.net is an unknown host.
