sf cvs sends an end of file when it's busy (which it always is) on
anonymous co and up's. It happens all the time to me when I am simply
trying to do an anonymous co or up to build on a new machine. This means
nestu's script has to be run repeatedly to automate the process (which
is the goal of the script). The developer co is not as problematic (I
use both depending on where I am) as it seems to work most of the time. 
It isn't that it doesn't work (it does) it's that we are sharing 
resources with a bazillion other people and the resulting congestion 
causes these problems. Since we have the capability to get around this 
issue (I *DO* have the resources to provide cvs) I do not see why we 
don't use it.
