I believe this is caused by one of the anon CVS servers in the
round-robin.  It's kind of like russian roulette.  If you get an
error like this, try again and you might get through.  If you
keep getting this same error in the same place over and over,
then I don't know what to tell you.  However, I do get this error
from time to time on a Linux box...
