You're specifying a date string right down to the precise second that
the patches were applied to the tree, which I think is confusing
cvsup, and getting you the state of things just before the update.
All you need to do is specify a date *after* the patches went into the
tree, but before the next set of patches.  Try:

    date=2004.02.05.12.00.00

The next commits to RELENG_4_8 were as a result of
FreeBSD-SA-04:04.tcp.asc, which went into the tree at 2004-03-02
17:27:47 UTC so you're no danger of overshooting and getting
4.8-RELEASE-p16.

	Cheers,
