At that point it's not in cvsnt code.. so it looks like either a network 
or ssh issue.

Note that your root string is incomplete, leading to undefined behaviour.

anonymous at cvs.openssl.org:/openssl-cvs

On cvsnt will use ssh by default.  On cvs it will use the old rsh 
protocol by default (which I'm surprised works since it's rarely 
implemented).

This would explain the difference in client behaviour.

Anonymous access is rarely defined using either ssh or rsh - you 
probably meant to use pserver as in:
