*shrug* -- maybe...

Without a clear description of what the actual problem is it's
anybody's guess. All you've really told us so far is that cvs doesn't
work right. We need to understand what's wrong at the system call level
before we can really do much to help you.

I'd not bother with debugging output and such at this point. You need
to focus on the application. What's going wrong with it? Once you
understand that, then we can look at what's happening in the kernel.
