Ditto.  FWIW,

$ cat ~/.cvsrc
cvs -r -q
diff -upN
update -d -P -I bootstrap.log
checkout -P

You probably have the same problem I did earlier, in that CVS doesn't have
an entry for cfgaux (or, alternatively, that cfgaux doesn't have a CVS
subdirectory).  I suspect this may've happened when I re-autotooled the
repository.  If you run "cvs update" without -d, it simply won't expose
the problem.
