Details:

Running the testsuite (via make check) on a newly built cvs
1.12.13 results in a spew of lines saying:

*** %n in writable segment detected ***

The final ps before I managed to kill it reported that it was
consuming over 11.5 GB of virtual memory.

In case it matters, it was built and run on a x86_64 system
running GNU/Linux Ubuntu 9.10.

The last 2 lines of the check.log file are:

Directory /tmp/cvs-sanity/cvsroot/first-dir/sdir/ssdir added to the
repository
PASS: basica-3

I haven't yet had a chance to debug this further.
