I've been having a similar problem on a redhat box with the cvs-1.11.1p1-6.2
rpm installed.  When I try to checkout a large project from the localhost with ssh the 
checkout hangs after random files, I have to cntrl+C and start it again, and again, 
and 
again until the whole project is finished. local and fork access on the localhost 
work. I 
can checkout on different machine (from the same server) with openssh-3.1p1 installed, 
so 
I assume the problem is the ancient version of ssh I have installed on the localhost:

  ~> ssh -V
ssh: SSH Version 2.0.13

Any ideas?
