You probably forgot to set CVS_RSH to ssh. AFAIK, future version will
default to ssh but currently it uses rsh as default.

Right: rsh.

The disadvantage of pserver is that it uses an unencrypted and unauthentica=

connections. So it's more probable that you downloaded data is corrupted
or you're even download from the wrong server. You also have to do
cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot before you can use
update or checkout but I guess you did that.
