It's not really a fix, it just allows a little more flexibility for the caller. Actually, a lot of the standard C library functions do it the other way - for example, strdup calls malloc internally and expects the programmer to call free on the returned string. So it would probably be fair to answer "no" to your question.
As to your CVS question, my version of SVN rejects "svn diff -u". I believe the CVS equivalent of "svn diff -x -u" is "cvs diff -u".
Cheers,
