You shouldn't have patched it. Rather, you should set CVSROOT in the
environment, -- and the full setting also includes the password for
"anoncvs", so it's:
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs:anoncvs@...ncvs.owl.openwall.com:/cvs

True. I've fixed it now.
But there's little sense for you to checkout Owl-1_0-release, -- you
already have that and probably want Owl-1_0-stable or current instead.
This may be done with:
make checkout TAG=Owl-1_0-stable
or:
make checkout TAG=
(The latter will get current.)
Note that all activity after the 1.0 release has been on current so
far. I intend to commit stuff into 1.0-stable once there's the first
critical security or reliability fix needed. I might also include
some not-so-critical fixes (tested in current) at the same time.
