My best guess is that the problem version is not properly identifying
'now' as a valid time. I don't have a cvs 1.11.17 version on any of my
boxes and I currently do not have access to AIX.
One way to help figure out where the problem is happening is to set the
environment variable CVS_CLIENT_LOG to something like /tmp/$USER.client
and then do a command like:
cvs export -D now CVSROOT/modules
and now look in /tmp/$USER.client.in and see if you see something like:
$ cvs export -D now CVSROOT/modules

The 'now' when I ranthe command was the date you see as an argument in
the above block.
If you do not see a valid date, but instead see 'now' or some such text
string listed, then you will have a good idea what happened.
If the $CVS_CLIENT_LOG.in file does not exist, then the error you are
getting is coming from the client itself.
Good luck,
