This is due to cvs being crappy. I just had the same thing happen when trying to connect to a totally different CVS server, not using fink. It seems that cvs/pserver has trouble when network/remote server are running slow, and eats up as much cpu as it can while polling. It's nothing fink specific. -- GPG public key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x9D5B8762 ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
