problem with cvs update

["Waitman Gobble" <uzimac%da3m0n8t3r.com@localhost>]

Hi,

Updating NetBSD 6 stable. What would cause "CVS/Root" to become 'corrupted'?

# cvs update -Pd
cvs update: CVSROOT must be an absolute pathname (not `91�

                                                           ')
cvs update: when using local access method.
cvs update: in directory external/ibm-public/postfix/lib/xsasl:
cvs update: ignoring CVS/Root because it does not contain a valid root.
cvs update: CVSROOT must be an absolute pathname (not `91�

                                                           ')

..then cvs update continues to update src tree

I haven't noticed this message before. 

# cd /usr/src/external/ibm-public/postfix/lib/xsasl/CVS

# file Root 
Root: data
# cat Root 
91�

    
.71�

           ..;1�
Root



I think(?) Root should be "anoncvs%anoncvs.NetBSD.org@localhost:/cvsroot", but 
i am definitely not an expert at CVS.
Does it pull the 'CVS' structure from the source / host or is it creating it on 
my local machine?

fix.
# cd /usr/src/external/ibm-public/postfix/lib/xsasl/CVS
# cp ../../util/CVS/Root .

Thank you,
