Nothing; SF cvs is just really bad for anonymous CVS (until next
month, when they promise it will be fixed).  I use this little python
script to do all my anonymous SF CVS:

    #!/bin/python
    # cvsx script - tries CVS commands until they succeed.
    import sys
    import os
    while os.system('cvs ' + ' '.join(sys.argv[1:])):
       print '.',
       sys.stdout.flush()

Alternatively, you can download last night's CVS tarball and use
local CVS on your machine:

   http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/boost-cvsroot.tar.gz

or, from two nights ago:

Good luck,
