The CVS-Manual (Section 2.9) tells you a possible reason:
The first area of big memory consumption is large checkouts, when using
the CVS server. The server consists of two processes for each client
that it is serving. Memory consumption on the child process should
remain fairly small. Memory consumption on the parent process,
particularly if the network connection to the client is slow, can be
expected to grow to slightly more than the size of the sources in a
single directory, or two megabytes, whichever is larger.
So check your installation and increase the amount of virtual memory...
Ciao for now, Dirk
