Anything in the system logs on the cvs server side dealing with inetd?
Something similar to:

May 15 17:02:53 ylum inetd[92]: smtp/tcp server failing (looping), service terminated

It may be that inetd is going into a mode where it thinks it's under a
Denial Of Service attack, and shutting down the service for a few minutes.

Maybe there's a way to tweak those settings.  Or, get away from pserver and
use client/server over rsh or, better, ssh.
