No. They are pids... but CVS isn't explicitly logging them, syslog is:

  Sep 19 16:56:39 phys-cvs01 cvs[17636]: [ID 558503 daemon.error] error setting 
KEEPALIVE: Invalid argument

Notice the pid inside the brackets after "cvs".

This is usually turned on with the LOG_PID option to openlog(3C), but I
don't see where CVS is using openlog (it isn't required).  I suspect
LOG_PID is turned on by default in Solaris.

I don't think that's the issue... at least according to the
setsockopt(3SOCKET) man page, SO_KEEPALIVE is a valid option:

     SO_KEEPALIVE
           enable/disable keep connections alive

And if it weren't supported it would seem like the call would fail EVERY
time.... it only seems to fail once in a while.  We probably get close to
1,000,000 CVS connections a month, so 84 failures in 3.5 months definitely
isn't happening all the time.
