This is probably a more subtle fix than this, but the following is what
finally worked for me:
rm -r /usr/obj
rm -r /usr/src
cvsup /root/sup/conf
ln -s /root/BTS /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
CAUTION1: This wipes out your kernel configuration. I keep mine in /root all
the time (I back up /root but not /usr/src), so I could just re-link it after
the wipe (my kernel config is called BTS). If you don't, stuff it away
someplace safe.
CAUTION2: Without a broadband, this would be tiresome--it causes the entire
source to be re-downloaded from the net.
NOTE: There is almost certainly a more subtle solution. But if you have a
fast connection, just doing the above is probably a lot easier & less
frustrating than tracking it down.
