Indeed.  I use this bash command-line when I want to cvs up (every week or so):

cvs update -Pd -A ; while [ $? = 1 ] ; do cvs update -Pd -A ; done

(Perhaps I shouldn't, as it degrades service for everyone else.  Sorry about 
that.  The most recent time was because Guido asked for testing of the current 
HEAD in preparation for the 2.3 release.)

I've been told that the problem is going to be fixed soon on sf.net's end 
anyway.
