8.2 CVS checkout hangs?

Can anyone else with an account on cvs.postgresql.org successfully
checkout a copy of the REL8_2_STABLE branch? I've tried a few times, but
the checkout reaches the same point and then does not continue:

$ cvs -d:pserver:neilc@cvs.postgresql.org:/cvsroot co -rREL8_2_STABLE -d
8.2_official_pg_tree pgsql
[...]
U 8.2_official_pg_tree/src/tutorial/complex.c
U 8.2_official_pg_tree/src/tutorial/complex.source
U 8.2_official_pg_tree/src/tutorial/funcs.c
U 8.2_official_pg_tree/src/tutorial/funcs.source

cvs is blocked waiting for select(2), and hasn't made any progress in
about the last 7 hours or so. Can anyone else reproduce this?

Why the heck are you using :pserver:? I always use :ext: for non-anon.
:ext: at least is working for me.

cheers

Hmm, I didn't stop to think about it, and since I didn't have a copy
already I just copied and pasted Neil's line, which worked on the first
try :-)

Maybe there's a content firewall that doesn't like what it sees in the
packet inside that file and drops the connection ... but since it's
using SSH this is not very likely.

Because that's what you're supposed to use?

A fresh checkout just worked for me, and did work on a couple of other
machines on Sunday. So I think Neil's got a connectivity problem.

I do what Marc tells me to do :)

Hmm, how bizarre. Anyway, it seems that after killing off the checkout
and then cvs up'ing, I can get what appears to be a valid checkout.

Thanks,
