This is symptomatic of anti-virus sofware interfering with the process -
uninstall the AV software and retry.  If the repository, temp directory
or export sandbox are on network drives or a NAS then move them to local
drives.

This release is no longer supported.  Patches will only be applied to
2.5.05, however we will still accept bug reports from 2.5.04.

@"C:Progra~1cvsntcvs" -d d:CvsDatageneric export -r HEAD -d ...

You are using :local: mode - this is really only for internal developer
use, in future it'd be better to NOT run ANYTHING on the server and use
a client with a real client protocol.
