I don't have access to the machine right now, but I installed the cvsup-bin (both GUI and non-GUI versions) and both core dumped for me. Both versions were obtained from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/CVSup/binaries This is on the latest -current (as of 9PM Oct 4, 99). Running it under truss helps with the core dump, but runs out of swap space very quickly. Truss keeps complaining about free()'ing a pointer that does not point to allocated memory. If you want more details, I shall be happy to provide them this evening. Hope this helps, Regards, Rajappa -- a.k.a. Rajappa Iyer. New York, New York.
