This means that one of the anonymous CVS servers didn't work.  You could
do two things:

1) define an IP address for anoncvs.gnome.org in your /etc/hosts (Obtained
via dig, and please choose the one closest to you)
2) Just let the round-robin DNS work and keep trying the command.  This
depends on your resolver doing the right thing.  (This is preferable.)
