This has happened to me several times, I think it was a problem on my
end (probaly permissions).  I always solve it by trashing my copy of
sword and checking out a fresh copy using command line CVS.

I suspect it has somthing to do with not being to do make as a regular
user.  If you do make as root, the permissions on all generated files
will be root only.  Then cvs as a regular user will probably hang if it
bumps into a file it can not replace.
