If you are looking for pointers on where to start, look at the
fhandler*.cc files and path.cc/path.h.  If you have some suggestions
on how you'd like to add the functionality we can provide pointers.

And, although they are out-of-date, the how-*-works.txt files in
the cygwin directory may provide some information.

I see that Marco has suggested that you were experiencing the anonymous
cvs restriction which kicks in when sourceware load average is too high.

If that isn't the case, you'll need to provide more details.
