It works here with world/kernel built this morning from sources cvsup'd at

no problems with the one retreived using /usr/ports/net/cvsup-bin:
earth:/usr/ports/distfiles# md5 cvsup-freebsd-ix86-aout-16.0.tar.gz
MD5 (cvsup-freebsd-ix86-aout-16.0.tar.gz) =
57c25981d3c1d82a79b9ae18aaea715b
earth:/usr/ports/distfiles#
nor from one pkg_add 'ed from
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/packages/All/cvsup-bin-16.0.tgz :
earth:~# md5 cvsup-bin-16.0.tgz
MD5 (cvsup-bin-16.0.tgz) = 3e60e196c8ed9f7dac3f145bd72ac536
