I found the mmap in CVS 1.11.23, and would not be at all surprised to find it also in the unstable release that Alex is using. I'm certain it's been in CVS since CVS absorbed RCS.
I don't think it has been quite that long, at least on solaris. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-cvs/2003-11/msg00152.html mmap happened between 1.11.1p1 and 1.11.2. the solaris mmap patches I applied for solaris 2.6 did not help. At least in the 1.11.x series you could drop mmap by: after you configure (but before compile) of cvs Version >1.11.1p1 make the following change in config.h: diff config.h.normal config.h 199c199 < #define HAVE_MMAP 1 --- > /*#define HAVE_MMAP 1*/ then `make; make install`and if you felt like it, you could follow some of my other suggestions about having mmap problems :)

Once Alex has determined which part of CVS is crashing (client or server), the first thing I would check is ulimit for the account running the CVS binary. Also try running side-by-side something that monitors the allocation of swap space and a tracing facility on the CVS binary. This should give you some idea of what in CVS is consuming the most space.On Nov 13, 2008, at 1:01 PM, Arthur Barrett wrote:Alex,My server configuration is: CVS 1.12.13 on Solaris 11. My client configuration is: CVS 1.12.13 on Debian 4.0Just like with Kevin I think the first thing to do is be 100% sure that it is the client or the server failing. Try coping the file to the server and doing a commit with :local: if that fails it'll be easier to debug too.No per-process memory limits appear to be set. However, the cvs process is unable to memory-map the file:All the memory map stuff is new in 1.12 I think - you could try going back to 1.11... If it is the server that is the problem then there are probably quite a lot of solaris parameters that could affect it - particularly if the memory maps in 1.12 are using shared memory. I'm no Solaris expert and AFAICT Solaris 11 is not even a released product. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_(operating_system)#Versions Regards, Arthur
