That's nearly as bad -- what you really want to do is unset $HOME.

It does. However, when CVS goes to find the user's home directory
(which it eventually does), it believes $HOME if it's set rather than
looking it up in the passwd file.
I've checked in a change to the current development version of CVS that
causes it to ignore $HOME when running in server mode. That should
solve this problem for good; hopefully no one was actually setting $HOME
intentionally for the server.
