Thank you for the prompt reply.  CVS stalls on the top
directory.
% cd MY_WORKING_DIRECTORY
% cvs -t update
 -> main loop with CVSROOT=:ext:address@hidden:/cvsroot/emacs
 -> Starting server: ssh subversions.gnu.org -l handa cvs server 
 -> Sending file `loaddefs.el' to server

Here, cvs stalls.

I found that cvs update works in src subdirectory as below.

% cd src
% cvs -t update
 -> main loop with CVSROOT=:ext:address@hidden:/cvsroot/emacs
 -> Starting server: ssh subversions.gnu.org -l handa cvs server

It seems that somthing is wrong with lisp/loaddefs.el.  I
tried this.

% cd ..  (change to top of working directory)
% rm lisp/loaddefs.el
% cvs update

It worked!  But, once I build Emacs by "make bootstrap" (in
that process, loaddefs.el is updated), cvs update stalls
again.  Very strange!
