[cvsnt] cvsnt hangs when tagging many files / large directories

[Markus.Gebhardt at etas.de]

Hi,
I have a problem with cvsnt2.0.4; cvsnt2.0.7 shows the same effect:
cvsnt hangs when tagging many files (reproducable; for verifying I tried 
with a perl5.6 distribution-some 1500 dirs altogether, I think)
Adding & commiting the files is no problem, but when I try to tag the top 
dir (module),
cvsnt starts listing the ignored (CVS) directories starting with 
?path_to_CVS_dirs,
and after about 190 lines of output (i.e. ignored CVS dirs) cvsnt just 
hangs.
I'm using a W2000 client and W2000 server, this effect shows with 2.0.4 
and also with 2.0.7 on both client and server side.
Also tried it with cvsnt 2.0.4 on a Linux server. Finally aborting the 
tagging by ctrl-c leaves a cvs zombie process there.

Can anyone use tagging (recursively) on really big directories without 
problems?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / with regards
