You might try the "Trouble making a connection to a CVS server" section 
in the "Troubleshooting" appendix of the CVS manual.  This sounds like 
an inetd misconfiguration.  If it is an stunnel misconfiguration, you 
can try establishing your tunnel and testing the connection via telnet, 
as specified in the same section of the manual.
