I get since some time regularly failures of fink selfupdate
with msgs like
cvs update: cannot open directory /cvsroot/fink/dists/10.4/unstable/ 
crypto/finkinfo: Cannot allocate memory

I get those as well when using explicitly /usr/bin/cvs, so it is not  
due to fink's cvs pkg.
This happens even when local memory usage is low _ say 1.4 out of 2 G.

In general when retrying, especially dir after dir and with a naked  
'cvs up' without adornations,
things go away and one gets through. Tonight not...

The ref to "/cvsroot/fink/dists/" suggests it may be either a memory  
problem or an error
on the other side..
(In general I get this on rather big dirs _ eg, 'libs' _ but tonight  
even on smaller ones like crypto)

Anyone else experiencing this ?
Is it really a sourceforge problem ?

JF

PS: crypto finally got through, after ~8 iterations
