This is the reason that the 'cvs version' command was introduced
in version 1.11.

% ./cvs -d :ext:myuser@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/pdos version
Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.9 (client/server)
Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.1p1 (client/server)

Well, first I do not have any Windows version of any kind in my life
(I have access to FreeBSD, GNU/Linux, MacOS X, Solaris).

Second, I do not have permission to look at the given file.

./cvs -d :ext:myuserid@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/pdos rlog pdos/src/pdos.c
cvs rlog: failed to create lock directory for `/cvsroot/p/pd/pdos/pdos/src' 
(/cvsroot/p/pd/pdos/pdos/src/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
cvs rlog: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/cvsroot/p/pd/pdos/pdos/src'
cvs [rlog aborted]: read lock failed - giving up

and using :pserver: does not hang for me.

% ./cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/pdos rlog 
pdos/src/pdos.c
