This would be apparently random, since the cdrom device could be called anything (I believe by default it used to be called MSCD001 which rarely clashed with a file). It used to be an endless source of fun when I was trying to upgrade Win95 machines to Win98 - the CDROM.SYS file would crash the install. Other than that, the other things to check are disk space on both the client and server (especially temporary directory space, which doesn't always end up where you want it to), dodgy internet connection (check the error count on the ethernet card & see if it's abnormally high), memory shortage/error (unlikely in a modern machine but you never know), or hard disk failure (run scandisk a few times). I'm not sure what to suggest beyond that. If you can compile a debug version of cvs and work out exactly where it's hanging I might be able to get a better clue.
