Will try tonight.

Looking at the trace, just after the abnormal return from write there is
593 2762194 [main] cvs 621789 __set_errno: int
__check_invalid_read_ptr_errno(const void*, unsigned int):214 val 14

Is there an explanation for that invalid pointer?
It's the cause of the "Bad address" in
"cvs [update aborted]: error writing to server: Bad address".
