same for cvs.
still a stone-old "stable" 1.11.6 branch release with lots of known 
issues...
  http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/vendor/ and select Vendor="CVS"
(a POST query)
  or http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=CVS

at least the 1.12.x releases and cvs HEAD compile out of the box.
Latest are currently (see https://www.cvshome.org/)
  CVS 1.11.17
  CVS 1.12.9 (recommended)

maybe I'll find some time to take it over...
