After a long and painful bug hunt, I've finally found out what caused
all our Kerberos authentication to break when we upgraded from
cvs-1.9.29 to cvs-1.10.7.
The bug still applies to cvs-1.10.8... it was caused by an
uninitialized CVS_Username. Attached is a patch that makes it work
for me, YMMV.

* server.c (switch_to_user): Initialize CVS_Username here,
since none of the Kerberos authentication methods do so.
