Hmm, after taking a closer look at the CVS server that we're running,
I'm not sure if it's a GNU server after all, because it links to cvsnt.org:

But that would mean that the (rather old!) version of 1.12.11 of the
CVSNT server has the bug that it announces the "Case" request type
although it does not support it. Can you confirm that bug exists in that
old version of the CVSNT server?
Thanks!
