Are you in client/server mode? What method of transport :ext: or
something else? Have you tried 'cvs -ttt ls' to have cvs tell you what
it is doing?

You have provided very little useful information ... the Novell folks
have patches of their own against cvs 1.12.12. Do you have
cvs-1.12.12-19 or some other release? What hardware is your host?
i386? x64_86? ppc?

Have you tried to debug the problem? Do something like 'ulimit -c unlimited'
and when you have the core dump do a 'gdb /usr/bin/cvs core' and at the
(gdb) prompt do a 'bt' command to figure out where the crash is happening?
