Why can't there be software that just works?!
There's a CVS server (version 1.11.22) [one can get the version with cvs version -d cvs_root] on a Linux machine.
There's a Hudson on the Linux machine that queries the cvs just fine.
I have Hudson on a Windows machine that gives me:
cvs checkout: dying gasps from server unexpected
The explanation? Here's the best I could find:
There is a known bug in the server for CVS 1.9.18 and older which
can cause this. For me, this was reproducible if I used the -t global
option. It was fixed by Andy Piper's 14 Nov 1997 change to
src/filesubr.c, if anyone is curious. If you see the message, you
probably can just retry the operation which failed.

Now check the version of the server I have (in the beginning). So what do we do now?!

Yeah... Totally agree. I am facing the same issue with Hudson and CVS. Did you get any updates on this?
