No, not per se.  I think it has to do with your options
to cvsup.  I wonder what's in your file /root/cvsup/src?

See, it's possible to get either an update of the source files,
*or* the whole "repository", which is all those fine rcs files.

Of course, the cvsup server itself might have been broken -- that
happens sometimes.  Rarely, but it happens.  A "supfile" suited
to getting -stable source over a pokey modem looks like:
 ----------------------------------------------
*default host=cvsup.usa.openbsd.org
*default base=/var
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs
*default delete use-rel-suffix compress

OpenBSD-src tag=OPENBSD_3_1
 ----------------------------------------------

I have the feeling you ran in "CVS" mode, not "checkout" mode.
Does your file /root/cvsup/src have a 'tag' or 'date' line in it?
