I'd exec cvs, but that shouldn't have any effect on your problem.

Hard to say... The error message indicates that CVS is trying to
allocate a lot of memory, but not so much as to indicate a bug of some
sort. How big is the repository file that you're trying to checkout?
Are you checking out the latest revision on the trunk, or are you
checking out some older revision or a revision on a branch? (That
requires CVS to apply deltas which can significantly increase its memory
usage.) It may be that 128m still isn't enough, or it may be that
you're running into a system limit or running out of swap space.
