No progress here. I can only say for certain that 21.X did not show the
problem (i.e., I'd experience the problem, run an old Emacs 21.4 on the
same files, repeat the same commands, and have no problem). As far as I
know, all versions since then are affected (though I have only
experienced it in the last several months). I have not successfully
reproduced it with Emacs from CVS since I reported it.
The one potential silver lining is it seems to depend somehow on the
session, such that once a cvs command fails, it is likely to fail again
in that same Emacs session. This may in fact result from persistent
external conditions, like the difficulty of SSH to connect to a CVS
server, etc. If I encounter it again, I'll leave that session running
and then we can consider how best to get to the bottom of it.
