cvs-mode, cvs base file have missing part

[pier31]

Hello,
This might be a well-known issue but after a while searching on list
and on the web I couldn't find anything about it.
My problem appears using cvs-mode of emacs to do some cvs.
When i use ediff on a locally modified file (de) the base version
retrieved may have missing part making the ediff mode behaves odd.
If I try with tkcvs I got a complete file from base.
I have a cvs pserver with CVS_RSH set to ssh.
Using fedora core 3, emacs 21.3.1 (add same problem with debian package).
Thanks for your help

[Emacs 22, etc/PROBLEMS]:

  *** GNU/Linux: Remote access to CVS with SSH causes file corruption.

  If you access a remote CVS repository via SSH, files may be corrupted
  due to bad interaction between CVS, SSH, and libc.

  To fix the problem, save the following script into a file, make it
  executable, and set CVS_RSH environment variable to the file name of
  the script:

  #!/bin/bash
  exec 2> >(exec cat >&2 2>/dev/null)
  exec ssh "$@"
