I am using cvsps-2.1-3.fc5, the last time I tried it died in the middle of the import. I don't remember why it died. Which cvsps are you using? You're saying that it can handle the whole Mozilla CVS now, right? I will build a new cvsps from CVS and start it running tonight.

I would much rather get a direct CVS import working so that I can do incremental updates. I went the SVN route because it was the only thing I could get working.

We are all having problems getting this to run on 32 bit machines with the 3-4GB process size limitations.
