Okay so the problem is not specific to the csup binary.  The errors
returned are different, but I'm willing to bet they're the result of the
same problem.

Are you using a firewall (ipfw or pf) on this box?  Is there a firewall
upstream from you?  A NAT box that's severely broken?  This could cause
what you're seeing.

truss -f -a -s 8192 -o truss.out csup -h someserver current-supfile

Then please provide the contents of truss.out (they may be very long),
or put the file up on the web somewhere.  Do not include it as a MIME
attachment.  Do not copy/paste the contents either.

This might not be enough either.  tcpdump/pcap output might be required,
but one thing at a time.

Also, a minor (unrelated) issue:, in this particular case, please don't
top post (I am one of the few who normally does not say this).  In-line
replies will be appreciated here due to the nature of the problem; it
makes context very hard to follow WRT this issue.  Thanks.
