Here's the information from the Slackware 8.0 ChangeLog:
----------------------------
Mon Mar 11 17:54:12 PST 2002
patches/packages/cvs.tgz: Patched to link to the shared zlib on the system
instead of statically linking to the included zlib source. Also, use mktemp
to create files in /tmp files more safely.
