Well,
I can't really understand why some commands work and some don't.
Looks like some kind of file listing is a problem:
cvs update filename (works)
cvs update (hangs)

In the first case the file is given and it works, in the second the
server needs to find out which files are referenced and it fails.

Same for cvs ls:
cvs ls CVSROOT/loginfo works
but 
cvs ls does not

I guess that cvs commit does an implicit update also and it has to
figure out all the files to process, and therefore fails...

The installer I used to install 1922 is built using the same support
files as the one for 1921, the only difference is that I replaced the
cvsnt files from the binary downloads.

Now I have uninstalled 1922 and reinstalled 1921 and it all started
working again...
