unfortunately, I still get that behavior on occasion using the sourceforge 
server.
in particular the one hosting boost.
I have a script that 4 times a day does an   update -dPA   followed by a build.
every once in a while I find it stalled (apparently near the end) of the 
update (i.e. a file that I _know_ is "M" is listed in the log and it's very 
near the end of the tree).

That also reminds me, getting CVS to actually tell us the order the files 
will be processed could be useful (without actually processing them, of 
course).
