Well, security problems just before releases are not that common. ;-)
Anyway, to answer the original question: download a src.tgz from
somewhere, the 3.8 version from your local mirror should do, and cvs up
it to OPENBSD_3_9.
And, just to reiterate for the benefit of those who have not seen it
yet: no, a source-code upgrade from 3.8 to 3.9 is not supported.
3.9-release -> 3.9-stable should work, though.
