There's probably nothing you can do to correct it.  It needs to be corrected on the build systems themselves (or their networks) by someone with access to do so.

this is no longer necessary. The failed jobs will be requeued (one way
or the other) and built.

the error is happening b/c we're using anon-cvs and we're overrunning
the number of simultaneous connections to the cvs-server in xinetd. we
can either get cvs-ssh access for the buildsys, limit the number of
connections on the buildsys side or raise the number of connections on
the cvs server.
