Quoth "Site Status":

 2004-04-29 14:11:35 - Project CVS Service )   As of 2004-04-28 the CVS 
services will no longer function with the hostname of 
cvs.PROJECTNAME.sourceforge.net. You should change your CVS commands to 
use the host cvs.sourceforge.net and that should resolve any outstanding 
issues that you may have. This issue came about as a result of upgrading 
from BIND 8 to BIND 9 which doesn't allow for a wildcard in the middle of 
a hostname. 

I.e. working copies checked out from cvs.gnuplot.sourceforge.net before,
you'll have to move over to cvs.sourceforge.net.

I just did this:

  cvs -qz6 -d :ext:br...@cv...:/cvsroot/gnuplot up

in one of my working copies, and it appears to work.

As a longer-term solution, all CVS/Root files of the working copy will
have to be updated.
