Yep, your getting through. But it is a fun question you ask. 8)

back to Larry's call that you may be running out of virtual memory.

you might try your test and with both machines (assuming client is a different
machine) run something like

while true;do df -h /tmp ;sleep 1;done

while at the same time running your test. If the machine drops to very little
space that is probably the problem.

BTW, How big is 
CE-cqtool.lock
/tmp on your server
the free space on /tmp on your server
ram on your server
free ram on your server
/cvsroot/baseline/
the free space on /cvsroot/baseline/
the free space in the directory where you are doing the checkout.
