I looked at that. My cvs hasn't changed, my OS hasn't changed. I
deleted my entire tree and did another checkout, but that didn't help.

The problem is that if the results directory exists, the update fails
because there is no /CVS directory in there.
Here is a sample session. At the start regress/results does not exist:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ cvs update -d -P pgsql
? pgsql/config.log
...
$ cd /pg/test/regress/
$ mkdir results
$ cd -
/pgcvs
$ cvs update -d -P pgsql
? pgsql/config.log
...
? pgsql/src/test/regress/results
cvs update: in directory pgsql/src/test/regress/results:
cvs update: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
It seems to be failing because there is no CVS directory in results.
This is CVS:
