cvs [commit aborted]: received broken pipe signal

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Hello,

	I have just build cvs server using cvsd on a debian testing machine. 
Everything was working fine until I tried to add email notifications. As 
a user (with admin power) I did a cvs co CVSROOT. Then edit the loginfo 
file and add:

ALL mail -s %s address@hidden

	Then I commit the file loginfo. And after that any file I want to 
commit I get:

$ cvs ci -m"comment" foo.bar 

/Bla/Bla/Bla.pro,v  <--  Bla.pro
new revision: 1.44; previous revision: 1.43
cvs [commit aborted]: received broken pipe signal


	As a temporary solution I commented out this faulty line, but nothing 
changed, I still get the broken pipe signal message. Is there any way to 
go back ? How do I track down this problem.

Thanks,
Mathieu
Ps: I found another related thread:

But all I want is understand why I cannot go back in time...
