sources.r.c cvs server problems?

[Randolph Chung]

I've been seeing this problem on and off for some time... i have an
account on s.r.c, but use anonymous pserver access on multiple machines
to do development. every now and then when i do "cvs diff", i get:

tausq@ios:~/gdb/gdb-cvs/gdb$ cvs diff
cvs [diff aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)

or sometimes:
cvs [diff aborted]: reading from server: Connection reset by peer

is this a known problem? is there a workaround? my cvs client is version
1.12.9

  It's a transient problem caused by extremely heavy load on the cvs server;
the workaround is to wait a little while and try again!  FWIW I noticed this
problem myself earlier today, but a few minutes later it was gone, and I'm
running a cvs update right now and it's not having any problem.

    cheers,

until cvs diff; do sleep 10; done

ok, is there any interest in setting up ssh anoncvs access? will that
make things more robust?

Not really, because it will make it much harder for us to rate limit
anonymous CVS access.  Anonymous CVS is a surprisingly big resource
drain; we currently limit it to 10 simultaneous connections.  Normally
when there are 10 active connections further connections get delayed
until one of the active ones exits.
