Agreed. To keep this thread together I thought I would bring the substance of 
my last report into this reply.

I have just done a portupgrade -Rf cvsup  but still have the core dump.

However I notice an oddity.

Despite having installed cvsup, turning X11 support on via config, pkg_info 
reports that 
cvsup-without-gui-16.1h_4
is installed.

It does not look right.

Whilst cvsup is not part of the base system I am nonethesless totally puzzled 
why cvsup should begin core dumping only after upgrading from 6.1 to 6.3 and 
despite a portupgrade -Rf under 6.3.

I do not really want to complete my upgrading to 7.0 stable until I am sure 
not to be dragging a current vulnerability into the new system !!!

Does anyone have any idea what may be going on here and/or whether 
someone is willing to take a look at the core dump and make sense of it.
