I had a NetBSD 2.0 /usr/src circa RC4.  I was going to update it with
anoncvs to save the bandwidth of FTPing the .tar.gz files.  So i did:

cd /usr
cvs login
cd src
cvs update -d -P -r netbsd-2-0


And i get :

cvs update: Updating distrib/hp300/miniroot
U distrib/hp300/miniroot/Makefile.inc
U distrib/hp300/miniroot/dot.profile
U distrib/hp300/miniroot/install.md
U distrib/hp300/miniroot/list
cvs update: Updating distrib/hp300/miniroot/inst
cvs [update aborted]: unable to parse /cvsroot/src/distrib/hp300/miniroot/inst/Attic/dot.profile,v; `author' not in the expected place



... which seems to hose the update.

 I tried removing the distrib/hp300/miniroot directory in case that would
 get around the problem, but it doesn't seem to have helped.

 Any ideas?
