My guess is that gcc is at fault; it turns out that anoncvs.cygnus.com and gcc.gnu.org are one and the same machine, and gcc recently had the 3.0.4 release. I assume many people are still connecting to get that release. > Since the CVS server doesn't reply to "cvs version", I assume it's old. Indeed - it doesn't even support the -C flag to update (though I don't know what cvs version added it).
