i looked through the jCVS mailing list archives and discovered a fix (but
not a problem, unfortunately).

people on the list were describing the same problem as you with jCVS
5.x. they said that it was solved by turning off GZIP compression AND
setting the compression level to zero.

p.s. there is no such thing as a secure socket. however, the socket that
your machine was using (1023) is supposed to be priviledged, but if that
were the problem, then you would have got a permission denied error. your
connection was successful, it was just a protocol error.

p.p.s. another thing that might have helped you diagnose the error is to
generate a stack trace. this can be done by pressing Ctrl+\ in the console
window of any Java program (i think it works under windows too). that way,
you can see where the code is blocking when it hangs.
