problems with cvs access



Hello *,

I cannot get cvs maxima from sourceforge to test the TeXmacs interface.
When I do, according to instructions at 
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=4933,

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/maxima login

and press enter at the "CVS password:" prompt, I get

cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from cvs.sourceforge.net: 
M PserverBackend::PserverBackend() Connect (Connection refused)

Similarly, if I try to do

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/maxima co maxima

I get

cvs [checkout aborted]: unrecognized auth response from 
cvs.sourceforge.net: M PserverBackend::PserverBackend() Connect 
(Connection refused)

Am I doing something wrong?

Another question. Can the cvs maxima be built by a recent version of sbcl? 
I remember that some time ago there were problems with new versions of 
sbcl which include unicode support. Has this issue been resolved?

Thanks in advance,
Andrey
