This is fixed in the most recent version of CVS.  However, the error
handling of client/server mode leaves alot to be desired.  This is on
Cyclic's TODO list of paid work that was due a couple weeks ago, but I
didn't get back to them about the bug until earlier this week.

Optimization to minimize the 'commit' traffic over the wire, and to
minimize the locking.  Doing a 'commit-per-directory' requires more work
than the client is willing to do at this point, and leaves the locks in
place much longer.

I think you need to checkout the sources from the remote server machine
to get it.  This is stuck in the CVS directory on your clients.
