Update problems - Can't parse date/time

[Sriram Chadalavada]

Hi everyone,
  I am having trouble updating a source repository from our local
testbed machine.

Snapshot:- 

testbed53 [32] % ls
AUTHORS     ChangeLog     COPYING  doc/     Makefile.am       NEWS   
src/
bootstrap*  configure.in  CVS/     INSTALL  Makefile.include  README
testbed53 [33] % cvs update .

cvs [update aborted]: Can't parse date/time: .

Some postings on the group spoke about a Y2k error causing this.

However, I am using 
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.15 (client/server) which is
supposed to have fixed the above bug.

Any suggestions about this would be most welcome. Thanks in advance.
