This is only maintainable if it can be automated, but it looks like 
things are broke:

 cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/sources/config -t co 
config/config.guess

  -> main loop with CVSROOT=/sources/config

  -> open_connection_to_server 
(:pserver:[email protected]:/sources/config)
  -> Connecting to cvs.sv.gnu.org(199.232.41.69):2401.
