Description
The cvs port compiles and installs fine. When used, I get this error:
$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@lame.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/lame login Logging in to :pserver:anonymous@lame.cvs.sourceforge.net:2401/cvsroot/lame CVS password:
cvs(7914) malloc: * Deallocation of a pointer not malloced: 0x4018b0; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug
The malloc error is not fatal; cvs works fine.
Incidentally, the first attempt to login to a cvs site also generates this warning:
cvs login: warning: failed to open /Users/tna/.cvspass for reading: No such file or directory
It's not common for open-source cvs to require real passwords or a ~/.cvspass file. This port needlessly creates one.

That's an issue that would have to be fixed upstream.
Since the cvs port itself doesn't change anything to do with password handling, this doesn't appear to be a MacPorts issue either.
