Description of problem:
All attempts to use a pserver (login, update) are failing with an internal
error.  This does not appear to be a problem when using CVS with ssh for
instance with CVS_RSH=ssh and a repository like
:ext:user@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/...



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com/cvs/kawa login
2.Type 'anoncvs' and press the ENTER key at the login prompt

OR

Pick any previous cvs checkout you'd like to update that uses pserver and
try to perform an update.  The same error message should appear except it
should say "updated aborted".


Actual Results:  cvs [login aborted]: internal error: get_cvs_port_number
called for invalid connection method (ext): Invalid argument

Expected Results:  Normal login or update from CVS.

Additional info:

This would seem to be a big problem for any developers commonly using
anonymous CVS pserver access to acquire things like gcc.  I'm going to try
reverting to cvs from Red Hat 7.1 since I know that worked.

$ cvs --version
