In this case, repoman's /tmp is far from full:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/da0s1e 7858549 65 7229801 0% /tmp
There's nothing in dmesg about cvs crashing, nor log messages anywhere
obvious that I can find that might give a clue as to what is going on.
I tested a cvs update myself, and it worked for me. The best guess I
can come up with is that the local checkout is corrupt somehow.
