This appears to be the same symptom others have reported, to which Stefan has responded that it is likely due to a known bug in CVS+SSH+libc on GNU/Linux or MacOS X. But I'm not on either of those operating systems, and my CVSROOT specifies the pserver protocol. The cvs binary and the shared libraries it links to haven't changed on my desktop, but CVS on the remote Solaris 8 SPARC server was just upgraded from feature version 1.12.8 (released in May 2004) to feature version 1.12.13 (released in Oct. 2005), from the distribution at http://ftp.gnu.org/non-gnu/cvs/binary/feature/sparc-sunos/ Any ideas on what's gone wrong and how I can fix it?
