I am running CVSNT 2.0.58c on Windows Server 2003. I am getting the
error below only when commiting a updated version of a file which is
always in the repository. Updates and checkouts from the repository
work just fine. This issue started happing immediately after I
upgraded CVSNT from 2.0.14 to 2.058c.

I tried starting the cvs service and rebooting the server based on the
mail list archives which showed people getting this message when a
cvs.exe process hung. I checked and as far as I can tell the machine
is not running any anti-virus sofware. I also turned off the MS
Indexing service for the drive that the repo resides on.

Is there something else I should be checking into to fix this issue?

Thanks for any help you can provide. :)

Here is the command output when I commit a file. I usually use
SmartCVS version 3 or SmartCVS EAP 8 as my client.
