I'm checking out the NetBeans repository with NetBeans 5.5 beta 2. All day, I've only been able to checkout a few modules at a time before CVS hangs or terminates abrubtly with a seg fault. Sometimes, the whole IDE terminates abruptly. Most of the time, I'm able to successfully update the module that didn't complete checkout and then continue. But for the past half hour, it only updates a few files and then terminates with no message. I'm attaching my messages.log file which has a stack trace of the only exception I've been able to capture.

It may be specific to files under \tempwww\www\images\
The files below seem to demonstrate the problem with update (but not with checkout): ? tempwww/www/images/third_party/11 ? tempwww/www/images/third_party/33 ? tempwww/www/images/third_party/34 ? tempwww/www/images/third_party/35 ? tempwww/www/images/third_party/37 ? tempwww/www/images/third_party/38 ? tempwww/www/images/third_party/39 ? tempwww/www/images/third_party/40 ? tempwww/www/images/third_party/44 ? tempwww/www/images/third_party/46 Using CVSNT, I was able to complete the update. After that the NetBeans CVS client behaves normally. I notice that CVS thinks these files end in a '.' character, while my file system displays them without.
Seems to be similar with #76731.
Yes, we have difficulties handling files whose names end with a dot. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 81329 ***
