Can you edit the file .../lisp/pcvs.el and change the line
(process-connection-type nil) ; Use a pipe, not a pty.
into
;; If process-connection-type is nil and the repository

;; CVS and SSH can lead to garbled output.
;; It might be a glibc-specific problem.
;; Until the problem is cleared, we'll use a pty rather than

;; (process-connection-type nil) ; Use a pipe, not a pty.
and then byte-compile the file and finally see if it helps ?
This applies to both the Emacs-21 code and the 2.9.9 version as well.

PCL-CVS' home is now Emacs. I.e. you now have PCL-CVS version 21.2 ;-)
It's more recent than 2.9.9 and, as a matter of fact, it's the latest
released version. The very latest version is the one in the CVS trunk
of Emacs (and it has the workaround shown above).

I've never heard of the problem you're talking about on your platform, so
maybe your problem is a different one (the fix suggested above has only been
needed until for systems using GNU libc). Are you accessing the repository
via SSH ? If the fix above solves your problem, please tell me so I will
know that the problem is not specific to glibc contrary to my
current impression.
