[cvsnt] Cvs rlog fails accessing openssl.org repository

[Matt Seitz (matseitz)]

Running the following command using the CVSNT version of "cvs" hangs:

"C:\Documents and Settings\matseitz>cvs -d anonymous at cvs.openssl.org:/openssl-cvs
 rlog openssl/LICENSE"

When I eventually press Ctrl-C, I see the following error:

"cvs [rlog aborted]: received interrupt signal"

Here's the CVSNT version I am running:

"C:\Documents and Settings\matseitz>cvs --version

Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build 2382 (client/server)"

The Cygwin version of "cvs" works fine. 

"$ cvs --version

Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.22 (client/server)"

Running CVSNT "cvs" with debug tracing on gives:

"C:\Documents and Settings\matseitz>cvs -t -t -t -d anonymous at cvs.openssl.org:/op
enssl-cvs rlog openssl/LICENSE
15:26:53:   -> Tracelevel set to 3.  PID is 2132

cvs [rlog aborted]: received interrupt signal"

I've also taken network traces, and it appears the CVSNT version hangs right after receiving a reply to an SSH "Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange Init" request (see frames 9-10 below).  My client sends a TCP ACK, but there is no further traffic, until 17 seconds later when the client closes the TCP connection.

Here'a summary of the network trace:
