I had this problem about a week ago now[1].  We chalked it up to me 
having a weird update path / grabbing CVS at bad times.  I haven't had
time to try it again yet, but Brad King reports that it worked for him
[2].

If you are having issues with it too now, then this should probably be
looked into more.  If you can repeat the error, can you elaborate on
exactly what you've done?

(they are from the same thread;

probably describes the issue best)
