Cvsup, when doing its X11 GUI stuff, attempts to do a name lookup on your
hostname, which if unresolveable, seems to cause problems. I'm not quite
sure what it's up to -- probably trying to figure out where to connect
with TCP using the DISPLAY variable. You can fix this by:
(a) Making your hostname resolveable using DNS (either by fixing your
hostname, or fixing DNS :-). A common workaround here is to set your
hostname to 'localhost' if you don't have a working hostname.
(b) Adding your hostname to the localhost line in /etc/hosts.
You can also work around by:
(c) Not using the cvsup GUI.
