I'm having trouble checking out an anonymous copy of the Python CVS 
repository.  I tried the instructions from both the developer FAQ and 
the SF CVS page; and tried checking it out from debian, win2k, and OS X. 
  In all cases, I get an error that looks something like this:

     cvs server: cannot read file in mydbm_load_file: Input/output error
     cvs checkout: in directory .:
     cvs [checkout aborted]: *PANIC* administration files missing

A google search for "mydbm_load_file" didn't turn up anything useful. 
Anyone have an idea what's going wrong?  Thanks!

(Here's a copy-paste of my shell session from debian, in case I'm doing 
something stupid:)
