 cvsup11.freebsd.org. though it is experiencing gnats_misc_103814 at the
 moment
 so anyone using it will need to do so by its ip, 63.87.62.77.

 yes. grabbing these supfile lines...
  *default compress delete use-rel-suffix
  mail-archive    release=current prefix=freebsd_mail-archive
 from cvsup11 results in this evidence...

 to be sure, i nuked checkouts.current and the two files in question,
 did
 cvsup -x -L 2 cvsup11.freebsd.org and the result is exactly the same
 sums and
 dates as before.
 
 a local wrapper script also filters cvsup output for unknown messages
 and
 diffs the on disk file index to the checkouts.current index. nothing
 unusal to
 report from that.

 fwiw, cvsup5 also has the same exact files, so i suspect the master
 site is
 the source. perhaps including any 'magic' that cvsupd may be applying
 to
 'peculiar ways'.
 
 along with figuring out the root cause...
 maybe increment the timestamps by a few seconds.
 maybe unpack both of them, lint check both for message count and
 mbox(5)
 format, concatenate, recheck for total message count and mbox(5)
 format, gzip
 to correct name standard and mirror.
