If you were stuck for this long, it almost certainly means a CVS process has 
died and left a stale lock in the repository.  Someone needs to go in and 
delete it manually.

The problem isn't specific to anonymous access; that's not to say it mightn't 
be a good thing to get anoncvs out of the main repository and on to some kind 
of mirror.
