[cvsnt] CVSNT client hangs when using compression with 1.11.2 UNIX pserver

I switched to CVSNT_1_11_1_3_REL branch, rebuilt, and still see the exact
same problem.
As Torsten noticed, this does only happen when connecting to "plain" cvs
1.11.2, and
only when using compression.

When trying the same thing connecting to cvs 1.11.1p1 (like the ones on
sourceforge), the problem doesn't happen.

Note also that this doesn't seem to have anything to do with which CVS
command you run. The version command was just a nice simple one to step
through and prove that the problem is in the disconnect, not in the command.

Other users have reported the same behaviour with CVSNT build 57h and 57i.

Bo, are your tests also against a _UNIX_ server (not CVSNT on Unix, but
"plain" CVS)?
