It works here with world/kernel built this morning from sources cvsup'd at
0100 EDT from cvsup6.freebsd.org.

earth:~# cvsup -v
CVSup client, GUI version
Software version: REL_16_0
Protocol version: 16.0

Report problems to cvsup-bugs@polstra.com

earth:~# file /usr/local/bin/cvsup
/usr/local/bin/cvsup: FreeBSD/i386 compact demand paged executable
earth:~# ldd /usr/local/bin/cvsup
ldd: /usr/local/bin/cvsup: not a dynamic executable

(same on all versions)

no problems with the one retreived using /usr/ports/net/cvsup-bin:
earth:/usr/ports/distfiles# md5 cvsup-freebsd-ix86-aout-16.0.tar.gz
MD5 (cvsup-freebsd-ix86-aout-16.0.tar.gz) =
57c25981d3c1d82a79b9ae18aaea715b
earth:/usr/ports/distfiles#

nor from one pkg_add 'ed from
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/packages/All/cvsup-bin-16.0.tgz :
earth:~# md5 cvsup-bin-16.0.tgz
MD5 (cvsup-bin-16.0.tgz) = 3e60e196c8ed9f7dac3f145bd72ac536

This one works without fault also.
