The simplest solution is to increase the memory and swap space on the
machine.  I believe the usual ratio of memory to swap is 1:2.  If you
already have a lot of available memory, quitting some other active
programs could do the trick too.

If you need some more information on CVS's memory requirements, browse
the manual at http://CVSHome.org (
http://CVSHome.org/docs/manual/cvs_2.html#SEC27 should be relevant) or
search the info-cvs email archives.

What kind of file are you checking in that is 72MB, anyhow?
