That was put down to a bug in a specific redhat glibc build... it never repeated.

This is different - using an old RCS function that probably bitrotted years 
ago...  easiest thing to do is just remove it if it's not an obvious fix.

It's easy enough so test - just run testcvs with valgrind active.  The 
testcvs.py already has the lines commented out in it (although they need some 
updating).
