Not reproducible here...
-I have the very latest release 69 on the server.
-I have two sandboxes checked out from the very same module
-I added a 9k file from one sandbox and committed
-I updated on the other and got the file OK

Here is output from cvs ver in WinCvs:

cvs ver
***** CVS exited normally with code 0 *****
Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 1.11.1.3 Prerelease (Build 69)
(client/server)
Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 1.11.1.3 Prerelease (Daily
Snapshot Build 68) (client/server)
Server: 

And here the same from command prompt:
F:\Engineering\Antares\KalleKula\ModuleXX>cvs ver
Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 1.11.1.3 Prerelease (Daily
Snapshot Build 68) (client/server)
Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 1.11.1.3 Prerelease (Build
69) (client/server)

Note the mangled output for the Server: item in the WinCvs window...
It gets the data switched somehow.
