Hi,

>  -> Sending file `loaddefs.el' to server

means you apparently made changes to this file, and it is sent to the
CVS server so as to make a diff.

However, this file is nearly one megabyte. Maybe it is not stalling,
but just taking a long while to transfert the file?

Do you have a '-z' option in your .cvsrc? If not, could you try again using:
% cvs -z9 update
?

Thanks,
