% Not sure.  I tried using a tag too and it fails to work :-(

I vaguely remember a problem report about val-tags, so I checked the history
of the CVS version we have in the tree.  Dag-Erling Smorgrav has fixed a bug
related to this in revision 1.2 of the file: src/contrib/cvs/src/tag.c.

This seems to be a server issue.  If the server running at anoncvs.freebsd.org
doesn't have the fix of DES, you can try a different server I guess.  I'll let
DES know about this and see if the fix has been backported to non-CURRENT
FreeBSD versions.
