  It will be easier for you then for other users as you already use CVS. 
  With patch in hand it is usually very easy to fix the issue.

+ David, please post your comments to the bug description, so they won't be lost
+ to developers who can start to work with the issue later.

+ 
+ You are correct & worse, access to the remote database requires one of
+ our IP numbers.

+ 
+ I can try to do the regression hunt, but this looks like it will take
+ alot of time. I can probably give someone a guest account if that
+ would be faster?
+ ********************************************************************
+ 
+ I agree, the regression testing can take some time, but does not require high
+ qualification :-( Sorry, I don't think that anybody can make it much faster.
+ 
+ If you have powerful machine it won't take long time to run rebuild cycle
+ "configure && make depend && make install".
+ If you have a month of untested patches you'll need 5 tests to find a day. Then
+ look at the patches in that day (http://cvs.winehq.com) and concentrate your
+ testing on suspicious ones - will probably take 2-4 additional runs.
+ 
+ Guest account may help for developer to research the bug further (probably 5%
+ chance as soon as a patch is found).
