Building CVS with USE_MMAP undefined (and thus using the

I'll need some time to look at the rest of this, but just wanted to
mention that building CVS from the upstream repository will produce a
binary with some nasty vulnerabilities. Distributions have lots of
patches they apply for their repositories, see Fedora for example [1].

Good point there. The debian stable CVS (version 2:1.12.13+real-30) is affected by this issue (and fixed by forcing no USE_MMAP), at least. I have not checked other distros myself.
