I don't have any fix for the fetcher ready straight away but this sounds
like a testcase we can reproduce. We actually have some plans to do a
redesign of the fetcher code to address issues like this amongst other
reasons.

I did have a quick look at my downloads directory and saw these files:

apps.update-rc.d_anoncvs.handhelds.org_r0_7_.tar.gz
yaffs2_cvs.aleph1.co.uk__20071107.tar.gz
config_cvs.sv.gnu.org__20080123.tar.gz                   

which I think are the only cvs checkouts we use. You don't need the
yaffs2 one so if you download the other, your build should proceed.

Cheers,
