As Ian discovered, this was actually due to a gaffe on my part.  I had
added a 'nice' to the anonymous cvs server and got the path wrong.

This isn't entirely accurate.

I probably have a nice new machine from the ArsDigita aquisition but
it's waiting for things to settle down there before I can grab it.  Once
I get it, I'll be setting it up with newer versions of everything and it
will eventually show up at the colo in Sunnyvale.

No ETA, yet.
