Error: cvs [server aborted]: cannot yet checkout to '.'

I believe, this is a CVS server issue. Some old CVS server seem not be
able to check out to the local directory: 'cvs checkout -d .
directory/file' fails.

CVS has been working fine for me, with one exception. Whenever I try to

filename text turns black):

I'm using :ext to access our repository. This problem happens in both
the EAP versions and in 4.5.3. Is there a problem with my configuration,
or is this an IDEA bug?

OK thanks for the pointer, I'll chase it up with our systems guys.
