gcc 4.x is more pedantic about things, so it could be flagging something
that previously it was ignoring - I had to commit a change to the codebase
when I went from gcc 3.x to 4.x for such reasons.

If you can, try with gcc 4.1.1 (which has no problems back here compiling
build 2471).

Is there something wrong with the cvsnt code itself to do with
found_password? From the error message it looks like a scoping error.
Patches welcome.
