Summary of off-list mail exchange: anoncvs.usa consistently has a
realloc failure in xenocara/font/misc-misc/18x18ja.bdf, some other
servers have a failure the first time checking this file out when
it's part of the whole directory, but resuming or checking out
individually does work.
$ cvs -d anon...@anoncvs.spacehopper.org:/cvs get xenocara/font/misc-misc
U xenocara/font/misc-misc/10x20.bdf
U xenocara/font/misc-misc/12x13ja.bdf
cvs [server aborted]: out of memory; can not reallocate 3833880 bytes
$ cvs -d anon...@anoncvs.spacehopper.org:/cvs get xenocara/font/misc-misc
U xenocara/font/misc-misc/18x18ja.bdf
U xenocara/font/misc-misc/18x18ko.bdf.xaa
U xenocara/font/misc-misc/18x18ko.bdf.xab
<snip>
But against anoncvs.usa it always fails:
$ cvs -d anon...@anoncvs.usa.openbsd.org:/cvs get
xenocara/font/misc-misc/18x18ja.bdf
cvs [server aborted]: out of memory; can not reallocate 5242880 bytes
This only happens with the network protocol (either via pserver
or 'cvs server' via ssh) not with local checkouts.
Forcing a coredump when realloc fails results in the backtrace below.
This file *can* be successfully checked out in a newer version of cvs
(I built a vanilla copy from upstream's sources), I made a start at
porting our patches across, but got stuck in a few places (and of
course such a change would require *very* careful checking considering
what we use cvs for).
