You don't, by any chance, have the following somewhere in your ~/.cvsrc?

cvs -z (and maybe some additional args)

If you do, you need to change that to

cvs -zN (then the additional args)


If doing that "fixes" it, I'm still not sure why your "old" cvs accepted
this -z without a (numeric) argument.


Here's the code from cvs-1.12.13-1:

  case 'z':
#ifdef CLIENT_SUPPORT
    gzip_level = strtol (optarg, &end, 10);
    if (*end != '\0' || gzip_level < 0 || gzip_level > 9)
      error (1, 0,
             "gzip compression level must be between 0 and 9");
#endif /* CLIENT_SUPPORT */
    break;


Here's the code for cvs-1.11.22-1:

  case 'z':
    gzip_level = strtol (optarg, &end, 10);
    if (*end != '\0' || gzip_level < 0 || gzip_level > 9)
      error (1, 0,
             "gzip compression level must be between 0 and 9");
    break;

(and frankly, the code looks the same all the way back to cvs-1.11.17-1
release on 2004-09-15)...
