Serious problems accessing cvs

I'm not entirely certain about that. I notice that updating works
quite well when I have no local changes. As soon as it starts merging
at the other end, it won't come back. I then kill the update, restart
it again, and it sometimes succeeds with the first file to merge, then
hangs again.

To me, this looks like a computational problem, but I trust you that
the machine has enough computing power. I don't know what else it
could be; it could be a problem in CVS itself.
