I was running the Debian GNU/Linux version 1.11.1p1-1, had the same problem. Upgraded to '1.11.1p1-5', same problem.
No, you do *not* have the same problem.
diff -u -b -B -Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa -r2.0.0.1 Makefile cvs server: invalid context length argument
That's a legitimate error (-C takes an *integer* argument, which "aaa..." is not). The *problem* was that that used to cause CVS to *crash*. You're not getting the crash. -Larry Jones These findings suggest a logical course of action. -- Calvin
