Are you using a CVSROOT/taginfo_filter?
It will have a problem if using a client against a large number of
files.

Arthur,
I agree, it should not be happening at all. I have the latest stable
release of CVS [version 1.11.22 as both client (Windows) and server
(FreeBSD)], and I have the latest TortoiseCVS (version 1.8.31). When I
check the About box for TortoiseCVS, it says it is using CVSNT, but
whether
or not it is _actually_ using CVSNT, I have no idea. Does it need to be
in
the path, or does Tortoise know how to retrieve it apart from the system
path? My non-CVSNT client is the one that is in my path.
I have been using CVS for about 12 years and managed my own server for
7,
and this is the first time (that I can recall) that I have ever
experienced
this error. It only happened when I tried to add and commit the Boost
1.34.0 library. Interestingly, I had added Boost 1.33.1 some time ago
with
no problem whatsoever. I do not believe that I have updated the version
of
CVS (either client or server, since I always upgrade both together)
since
that time, so the fact that the error is occurring only now, and only
with
the Boost 1.34.0 library, is very strange indeed.
The only thing that was different this time was that I was attempting to
perform my commit via my development machine over a Remote Desktop
connection (because I was away from home at the time). However, since
my
development machine has direct access to the CVS server on the local
network, I doubt the problem is between the two machines. I don't think
the
error is in the router or the switch (my external connection is only
2Mb,
while the local connection is 100Mb), so I don't think collisions are
the
cause, especially since the error occurred in the same folder every
time.
I am still stumped, but at the moment I am not particularly concerned.
Unless it happens again, or (more importantly) unless my clients who
also
use the server start complaining, I am not going to worry about it.
