OK
Here is what I found doing :
setenv CVSROOT /usr/home/ncvs

cvs co -D"October 28, 2012 12:14:38 PDT" sys

A kernel from that time works fine.

doing:

cvs up -D"October 28, 2012 13:14:38 PDT" sys                    1 hour later
the following files were changed:
sys/netinet/tcp_input.c
sys/netinet/tcp_timer.c
sys/netinet/tcp_var.h

Building a kernel from these new files is when the problem starts.
