cvsup needs to be upgraded to a version produced after September 9, 2001
to avoid this error, because it has a bug in it that showed up on
September 9, when the 1000000000 second in UNIX occurred.  Up to date
cvsup servers will reject your attempt to connect with an old cvsup.

You can get a version of cvsup to install with pkg_add appropriate
for your version of FreeBSD from:
http://people.FreeBSD.org/~jdp/s1g/

It's a good idea to send mail to majordomo@freebsd.org with the
subscribe freebsd-announce
message so you get announcements about critical stuff like this
(and important security issues as well).
