Why get the snapshots instead of the entire RCS files using CVSUP?
use 

*default release=cvs.

 This allows you to create any possible snapshot, by checking out of
CVS.  I have found this a much better way to track bugs.  This does
require additional disk space since you have a local copy of the CVS
tree, plus need space to check the actual source out from CVS.
