A couple of things...

1. You might use cvsup with te -L2 option to log exactly what is
changed. It often lets you know that things are messed up because of the
files loaded. The first line of the sup file should not be there, but I
don't think it is causing the problem as I think the second default tag
will override it. If not, you got CURRENT (V6) sources and not STABLE.

2. The message shows no errors. Did anything come after the last line or
did it just come back to a prompt?
