Though I have not exercised CVS through SSH much recently, I have not
had the problem recur (same CVS version). My vague impression was
that it was related to a temporary or intermittent configuration
issue on the server (e.g. savannah) side which persisted for several
weeks in April, but I don't have much more to go on than that.
Stefan Monnier mentioned other reports of the same or similar
problem, so perhaps tracking those down would yield progress. Sorry
I don't have more help to offer. I will certainly keep an eye out
for recurrence.
