No, this isn't a CVSup issue.

Go to http://developer.postgresql.org/
then pick PostgreSQL Server CVS web interface.

That successfully displays you list of files.

Pick one, click on it and that file's history appears.

Click "download" and it fails consistently with the error:
------------------------------------------------------
Error
Error: Unexpected output from cvs co: cvs [checkout aborted]: Absolute
module reference invalid: `/pgsql-server/COPYRIGHT' 

Check whether the directory /cvsroot//CVSROOT exists and the script has
write-access to the CVSROOT/history file if it exists.
The script needs to place lock files in the directory the file is in as
well.
------------------------------------------------------ 
The error is received no matter which file you pick.

I've got no problems with CVS, just the web interface CVSweb.
