update confusion 4.8-STABLE to STABLE = 4.9-PRERELEASE !?

Hey guys,

Look what happened to me. I had a nice (cute) 4.8-STABLE. From time to 
time, I update it via cvsup. Ports to CURRENT, system sources to STABLE. 
Last time I updated from cvsup2.freebsd.org (I tried another one closer 
too, same result), and hah , after a buildworld, i had a brand new 
4.9-PRERELEASE installed. I guess this might be  a bug in cvsup, because 
this is how my cvsup file looks:

-----------------------
*default host=cvsup10.FreeBSD.org

*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4
#*default release=cvs tag=.

*default delete use-rel-suffix
src-all
#ports-all
-----------------------
Is the updating to 4.9-PRERELEASE a normal behaviour intended by the 
Team, or is it a bug in cvsup client make it interpret commented line 
"#*default release=cvs tag=." (though I don't think that would have 
4.9-PRERELEASE as a result from 4.8-STABLE).

Anyone help me clue this out, thanks in advance!

Regards,
Alin.
