There is no 4.2-STABLE. In fact there never was a 4.2-STABLE. There was RELENG_4_2_0_RELEASE, which was cut to CD, and RELENG_4, also known as -stable. You're cvsupping -stable, which is on the edge of being released as 4.3. They change the version early to catch possible port dependencies on version numbers. If you don't want to run BETA code, wait a few days and the *exact* same source will magically become stable again (4.3-STABLE).
