These locks are read-locks caused by checkouts that are aborted.
Somehow the CVS server doesn't always catch this.  I suppose there are
also write-locks by commits that could be left around, but you
typically don't abort a commit -- but it's common to hit ^C when an
update takes a bit long.

Not defending CVS (I think it should catch SIGPIPE since that's
probably what it's getting since this is done remotely) but just
setting the record straight.
