Eventually the telnet session where I issued the checkout fell over,
too.  I could still access the box via the console, though, and I
could see that there was negligable system load (uptime), and plenty
of memory free (free).


A hung NFS connection to your home directory could cause these problems.

If you couldn't even ping the server box, I would assume something
else was responsible.  Your CVS server should generally care very
little about a few hung clients.
