CVS update fails: Connection reset by peer

[Eric Hanchrow <offby1@blarg.net>]

For a few days now, I haven't been able to update my copy of the
boot-floppies tree.  Here's what happens when I try:

    13:13:07 [boot-floppies]$ strace -e network cvs update
    socket(PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0)         = 3
    connect(3, {sin_family=AF_UNIX, path="                                                                                       /var/run/.nscd_socket"}, 110) = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused)
    socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 3
    socket(PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0)         = 4
    connect(4, {sin_family=AF_UNIX, path="                                                                                       /var/run/.nscd_socket"}, 110) = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused)
    socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 4
    connect(4, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53), sin_addr=inet_addr("206.124.128.1")}}, 16) = 0
    send(4, "\254\334\1\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\3cvs\6debian\3org\0\0\1\0"..., 32, 0) = 32
    recvfrom(4, "\254\334\201\200\0\1\0\1\0\10\0\7\3cvs\6debian\3org\0\0"..., 1024, 0, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53), sin_addr=inet_addr("206.124.128.1")}}, [16]) = 351
    connect(3, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(2401), sin_addr=inet_addr("198.186.203.20")}}, 16) = 0
    send(3, "BEGIN AUTH REQUEST\n", 19, 0)  = 19
    send(3, "/cvs/debian-boot", 16, 0)      = 16
    send(3, "\n", 1, 0)                     = 1
    send(3, "anonymous", 9, 0)              = 9
    send(3, "\n", 1, 0)                     = 1
    send(3, "A", 1, 0)                      = 1
    send(3, "\n", 1, 0)                     = 1
    send(3, "END AUTH REQUEST\n", 17, 0)    = 17
    recv(3, 0xbffffadb, 1, 0)               = -1 ECONNRESET (Connection reset by peer)
    cvs [update aborted]: recv() from server cvs.debian.org: Connection reset by peer

I don't know if this means that I'm not getting properly logged in, in
which case perhaps I need to do `cvs login' again (although I've
forgotten the password for anonymous access).  Or perhaps there's a
problem with the CVS server.

Any ideas?

Thanks
