WinCVS/CVSNT choking on large tar.gz files during Import/Checkout process

[slock]

I just wanted to post an observation that I have made with WinCVS
2.0.2.4 (Build 4).

I have a large source tree (~1.5 GB) that I am trying to import using
WinCVS.  The source code resides on a Linux 2.4 machine, while my CVSNT
server is on a Windown Server 2003 box.

I have noticed that when I try to import a tar.gz file that is larger
than ~184 MB I cannot subsequently check that file out without
receiving an "Invalid Argument" error.  Due to this I have had to keep
these large tar-balls separate from CVS (not something that I am
particularily happy about).

Has anyone else observed this issue?  If so, is there a known solution?
