I reported that error a few weeks ago against version 2.5.03.2151, built in a RHEL 3 environment. When using the official RPM I'm unable to commit on binary files with delta (on RHEL 3 also). But on RHEL 4 it works fine! (Despite I don't know whether the warning message is suppressed or the problem is not present). As Michael Wojcik stated in his post on 2006-02-09 (http://list.nodomain.org/pipermail/cvsnt/2006-February/023745.html): "Yes, it's glibc's malloc validation code. Unless it's a bug in glibc itself, which is unlikely, it indicates a bug in the CVSNT server or in some code that it calls. The address looks plausible, so my guess is a duplicate free." We were unable to find the problem, so the short term solution was a downgrade to 2.5.01.1976. (But, again, I don't know whether the warning message is supressed or the problem is not present).
