We noticed that we run into problems when we try to commit a new revision of a binary file into a branch. The ,v file has some 430MB, the file to commit has 13MB. Flag is "b". We then get a cvs [server aborted]: out of memory; can not reallocate 381681664 bytes Committing into MAIN works. So it only happens when we commit into a branch. Judging from the task manager, these operations seem to be totally different operations. Committing into a branch crashes at about 800MB of working set, committing into MAIN just needs some 70MB. The server is a Windows 2003 Standard Server (1GB, 2GB page file) running as VMWare. But we also tried on a Windows XP workstation (3GB, 2GB page file) with the same crash. Tried Scorpio and Zen. Is there something we can do against it? A setting? I read that there is a bug in the C runtime of Windows, and I read about the corresponding bug (4808?) in your bug system, but I did not get if the fix went into the Open Source version of Zen or not.
