To be honest, I'm not sure. I've had it happen at least three
separate times, and typically it persists for a day or more,
sporadically occurring, approximately half the time. But it hasn't
happened in several weeks (though my CVS usage varies considerably).
My strong suspicion is that this relates to a persistent behavior of
the CVS host, timing out or otherwise generating some situation which
CVS Emacs cannot cope with well, but it hasn't repeated enough to
allow honing in on the problem. I've tried disconnecting the network
to set cvs up to fail, but now all I get is the correct standard
error message. Since people reading this list no doubt exercise cvs
via Emacs far more than I do, the fact that many others haven't
echoed the problem makes me think it might be incredibly rare, or
pertain to my specific setup in some unknown way. I'll stay on the
lookout for it.
