It looks like ssh is writing a message to stdout that should actually go
to stderr, so that CVS can suppress it.  Kai is right that the easiest
fix is to silence this particular message.  To call ssh with -x from
CVS, it may be sufficient to set the CVS_RSH variable to "/usr/bin/ssh
-x", or you might write your own wrapper script that adds the option to
the command, and put the location of that wrapper script into CVS_RSH.

Which version of ssh is that?  One should probably file a bug report
about it.
