The version reporting is working for me:

$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.enlightenment.org:/var/cvs/e version
Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.21 (client/server)
Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.17 (client/server)

But I can reproduce the problem with git-cvsimport. git main branch, cvsps 2.1.

I'm quite sure that it's a bug in cvsps. It displays such things on x86_64, but works properly on 32-bit PowerPC.

x86_64:
$ cvsps --cvs-direct -A -u --root :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.enlightenment.org:/var/cvs/e e17
connect error: Network is unreachable
WARNING: malformed CVS version: no data
WARNING: malformed CVS version str: (UNKNOWN CLIENT)
WARNING: Your CVS client version:

and/or server version:

ppc: $ cvsps --cvs-direct -A -u --root :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.enlightenment.org:/var/cvs/e e17 cvs_direct initialized to CVSROOT /var/cvs/e cvs rlog: Logging e17 cvs rlog: Logging e17/CVSROOT cvs rlog: Logging e17/apps cvs rlog: Logging e17/apps/e cvs rlog: Logging e17/apps/e/client ...

Both are cvsps 2.1 on Fedora Core 5.
