I am having problems with my CVS commits right now, it is taking many
minutes to update a few web pages. Apparently it is stuck at the
"Triggering webpages update..." phase. In fact it just crashed:
  IOError: [Errno 4] Interrupted system call
but the webpage update apparently succeeded.

The machine cvs.savannah.nongnu.org seems to be under heavy load, with
lots of svn blame, viewvc.cgi and cvs processes competing for i/o.

Let me know if I can be of any help.

Alex.
