For the last few feeks I have a strange problem. When I try to update my CVS emacs version with "cvs update" nothing happens for approximately 8 min and then I get the following error: cvs [checkout aborted]: error writing to server: Broken pipe
The first anonymous CVS checkout with "cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sources/emacs co" works just fine. From then on, an update (or checkout again) command fails like mentioned above. Here's an example: $ cvs -t update -> main: Session ID is wFsBDcMzUa1LMxYs -> main loop with CVSROOT=/sources/emacs -> open_connection_to_server (:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sources/emacs) -> Connecting to cvs.savannah.gnu.org(199.232.41.69):2401. -> rename(CVS/Entries.Backup,CVS/Entries) -> unlink_file(CVS/Entries.Log) -> rename(CVS/Entries.Backup,CVS/Entries) -> unlink_file(CVS/Entries.Log) -> rename(CVS/Entries.Backup,CVS/Entries) -> unlink_file(CVS/Entries.Log) -> rename(CVS/Entries.Backup,CVS/Entries) -> unlink_file(CVS/Entries.Log) -> rename(CVS/Entries.Backup,CVS/Entries) -> unlink_file(CVS/Entries.Log) And after approx 8 minutes I get: cvs [update aborted]: error writing to server: Broken pipe I had used this command for more than 2 years without any problems and I haven't changed anything in my environment (not that I can think of at least). When I remove my emacs directory and try the checkout command, it works just fine. But when I now follow up with an update or a 2nd checkout command, I get the same 'Broken pipe' error. OS: SunOS 5.8 Generic_117350-28 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-1500 Solaris Does anybody have an idea how I can investigate this? I appreciate any help.
