Package: cvs
Version: 1:1.12.13-4
Severity: minor

When a remote pserver operation is interrupted for some reason, cvs will
get a recursive error trying to tell the disconnected client that it has
been disconnected. This recursive error generates a series of syslog
entries with LOG_DAEMON|LOG_EMERG which is highly excessive for a simple
client disconnect.

A sample broadcast of the error message:

Message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] at Tue Sep  5 12:03:18 2006 ...
ubb cvs: error (1, 0) called recursively.  Original message was:

Message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] at Tue Sep  5 12:03:18 2006 ...
ubb cvs: cvs [checkout aborted]: flow control EOF 

Message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] at Tue Sep  5 12:03:18 2006 ...
ubb cvs: error (1, 0) called recursively.  Second message was:

Message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] at Tue Sep  5 12:03:18 2006 ...
ubb cvs: cvs [checkout aborted]: received broken pipe signal 

Message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] at Tue Sep  5 12:03:18 2006 ...
ubb cvs: Aborting.


These messages are generated in src/error.c around line 220. I would
suggest that this syslog message does not need to be any higher than
LOG_ERR, and could quite reasonably be even lower.
