The problems are on anoncvs, not your local system :-(
I don't know what it runs out of, but have noticed that the CVS
protocol is rather 'brain dead' in that all the diffs are done on the
server - which requires it store large amounts of data for each
pending update.

Running on each subdirectory helps...
