There was not enough available memory to run the cvs command that is
shown.  It could be that your RAM + swap was really full, or it could be
that your virtual address space was exhausted (e.g., if you are running
this on a 32-bit system and using more than 2Gb or 4Gb).

Try running the cvs command manually and see whether it can run to
completion by itself.  Monitor how much memory it needed.  Perhaps this
file contains enormous revision(s) or something?

Alternatives: free up some memory by shutting down other programs,
configure more swap space, or find a bigger computer.

You can restart at the beginning of pass 16 but not at a particular
revision.
