I just tried it and get the same results.  I guess my update everything in 
about 2 hours is going to fail miserably.

C:\Projects\boost>cvs version
Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.41 (client/server)
Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.15 (client/server)

C:\Projects\boost>cvs update
? bin
? bjaminstall.log
? bjamv2.log
? buildit.bat
? manualrun.log
.... several more ? lines, then:

cvs update: Updating .
