Hello, I'm having problems with a CVS repository on an AIX box when I connect to it with any of several versions of cvs.exe. Every command issued to the remote repository using cvsnt causes a core file to be created and never cleaned up. The core files are 32M each and cause /tmp to fill up quite quickly. I had a coworker look at a core file in a debugger and found that it's caused by a segmentation fault. It looks like the repository can't clean up its memory. I saw another post from someone that was having a similar problem on AIX. The fix was to change the code for the CVS repository they built such that it doesn't create the core file anymore. That's not really going to work for me. I am able to check stuff in and out locally on the AIX box without a problem. I can also use it from another remote UNIX box using pserver without any problems. Also, using Eclipse plugins, I have no problems (also using pserver). The only time I have a problem with the repository coring out is when I use cvsnt (cvs.exe). My second problem (with cvsnt) is that I can browse just about everything in the repository, except the folder I need to browse. Under the $CVSROOT, I have a folder called "java" that has all of my projects in it. I can only see one project in this folder, and there are roughly another 60 projects I need to access. What information do you need to help resolve this issue? Environment Info =========================================== CVS Repository: AIX 5.x, version 1.11.5 CVS Client: Windows XP Professional CVSNT: 2.0.41a to 2.5.03 Thanks, Derek
