When trying to compile cvs-1.11.17 a test will fail.
The test tells the user that: "This test suite does not work correctly when run as root".
Output:

This test should produce no other output than this message, and a final "OK".
(Note that the test can take an hour or more to run and periodically stops
for as long as one minute. Do not assume there is a problem just because
nothing seems to happen for a long time. If you cannot live without
running status, try the command: `tail -f check.log' from another window.)

!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge sync
2. emerge cvs
3. notice the test failure notice
Actual Results:
emerge cvs failed
Expected Results:
emerge cvs should have worked

Is your issue only that there is an error or do you absolutely want to run the
test case?
I think for cvs' case the best for now is to use use an empty src_test() since
the tests take ages anyway and a failing test doesn't mean that the install is
broken.
If there are no objections, I'll just add an empty src_test() for now to work
around this "problem" (but then again, even most people with maketest in their
FEATURES probably don't want to run the cvs tests anyway).
committed.
Changing status to RESOLVED / FIXED because the ebuild doesn't fail because of maketest (just puts a little einfo if maketest is used) and virtually no one would want to run the cvs tests, even those using "maketest".
