I have that problem not (only) with ssh, but with plain anonymous CVS
as well. There was a long discussion a couple of weeks ago, where for
example XEmacs people reported they have the same problem. I filed a
CVS bug report, but nothing happened so far. Cygnus (specifically,
Jeff) claimed that there was no bandwidth shortage on their end, so I
still suspect a bug in CVS somewhere.
