The version number of CVS would be a good start, different versions of CVS have different support forums. the command 'cvs ver' in a checked out sandbox will tell you the version of the server and the client.

CVS 2.x - CVSNT (NoT CVS) for linux/mac/unix/windows
CVS 1.x - NONGNU CVS (usually linux, sometimes mac)
TortoiseCVS 1.x - this is a gui not CVS at all, it 'uses' CVS
WinCVS - this is a gui not CVS at all, it 'uses' CVS
and lots more...

This FAQ lists the essential things you should supply with any bug report to any CVS forum, including the version number and the CVSROOT:
