I've seen this problem in the past. It occurs when you cvsup the repository down to a local copy contained within another CVSROOT. The $FreeBSD$ tags don't get expanded during checkout and will contain the previous revision tag. I believe the file to check is the CVSROOT/options file from the FreeBSD tree.
