Cvsup, when doing its X11 GUI stuff, attempts to do a name lookup on your hostname, which if unresolveable, seems to cause problems. I'm not quite sure what it's up to -- probably trying to figure out where to connect with TCP using the DISPLAY variable. You can fix this by: (a) Making your hostname resolveable using DNS (either by fixing your hostname, or fixing DNS :-). A common workaround here is to set your hostname to 'localhost' if you don't have a working hostname. (b) Adding your hostname to the localhost line in /etc/hosts. You can also work around by: (c) Not using the cvsup GUI.
