I reproduced this and it seems to be a feature of Linux's inetd, not a
bug in CVS. Try your test again and then take a look in
/var/log/messages. Here's what I found in mine:
Aug 17 16:28:07 empress inetd[673]: cvspserver/tcp server failing
(looping or being flooded), service terminated for 10 min

The Gothic idea that we were to look backwards instead of forwards for the
improvement of the human mind, and to recur to the annals of our ancestors for
what is most perfect in government, in religion and in learning, is worthy of
those bigots in religion and government by whom it has been recommended, and
whose purposes it would answer. But it is not an idea which this country will
endure.
