[cvsnt] Hanging cvs.exe on cvs server

[Glen Starrett]

Just a thought--maybe you could find out when one of these hung processes
starts and look through the history to see if it could have been some
multi-user contention problem.  That would be one possible way to cause that
kind of problem (I think) that would be difficult to reproduce--but at least
if it is know as a contributing factor then it would be somewhere to start
narrowing the problem.

Maybe running the cvsservice in debug mode during this time would help too,
I don't know what additional info is in there but I would imagine there
would be details that could help as well.

Using tortoisecvs, not wincvs (blah)

The hanging processes are not using any cpu time.  Just sitting.
Sometimes for days.  I tracked them a couple times, and unless another
cvs.exe started with the same pid, it was the same one for several days.
I wanted to see if it would go away.

WinCVS 1.2 used to keep the server connection open, but that's ancient
history... I'm not aware of anything that can hang the server at the
moment
(certain combinations of control C and sserver can make it eat a fair
bit of
CPU, but it recovers eventually even then).

Even after the client is dead there's still the cleanup to do, which
after a
large update/commit can be quite substantial.  It's unusual for that to
be a
problem though

The server here has been running for weeks without any problems, if that
means
anything (through two releases + lots of merging, etc.).
