Broken pipe signals occur when you have a pipe open for output, and the
process at the other end of that pipe closes it before reading an end of
file condition. This might be due to an explicit close, an early exit, or
a normal exit upon reading a token from the pipe.
Try looking for all the commit-related pipes and the processes they write to
(including those spawned by *info files) and see what they're doing.

I am at wit's end here. After re-installing CVS from scratch, rebuilding
the repository from a fresh import, I still get this maddening error
when committing:
styx:/usr/local/auction% cca
Checking in Project/index.md;
/var/cvs/auction/Project/index.md,v <-- index.md
new revision: 1.7; previous revision: 1.6
done
cvs [server aborted]: received broken pipe signal
Our server is a Debian Linux machine updated to the latest tools.
The crazy part is it happens 80% of the time, and not at all on another
repository (same CVSROOT) on the same machine.
What does this mean?
