I am setting up a minty fresh Slakware 8.1-rc2 server,
which came with cvs 1.11.2 installed.

I am seeing this same symptom, the "hang after 'cvs co' completes".

In my case though, the 'cvs server' process does not exit.  If i kill
it, the client terminates normally.

With a cygwin client (cvs 1.11), cvs runs fine in ext/ssh or pserver mode.
With a local 1.11 GNU/Linux client both ext and pserver hang.
With a remote 1.11.1p1 GNU/Linux client, ext hangs (no pserver test).

I have a 4 year old cvs server that runs great, so i started swapping
out parts with it.  Replacing openssl and openssh with my old working copies
made no difference.

Building 1.11.2 from the source made no difference.

What worked for me was to build 1.10.4.  That works great.
