I rebuilt FreeBSD 8.0rc1 from source, copied it to my machine, and
"upgraded."  I'm still having the problem, and I noticed a similar flavor of
problem when an XP client connects and transfers a file.

But for now, I'll ignore that.  I can't csup the stable supfile.  The only
change I made to the one in /usr/share/examples/cvsup was setting the host
to cvsup10.us.freebsd.org.  Everything else is the same.  Here's what
happens when I run it:

# csup stable-supfile

Protocol error during collection exchange

cvsup fails, too.  It's probably not my internet connection because I was
able to use csup on another machine, and things like pkg_add -r work on this
one.  Maybe the compact flash FreeBSD is on has worn out where something
important is stored, or maybe there's a strange networking bug.

Any other ideas?  How can I debug this?
