cvsnt (server) crashes on all operations after portupgrade

[Steve Franks]

Hi all,

Did a routine portupgrade the other day.  Looks like cvsnt's server is
now crashing on all operations (login, update, etc).   I'm getting a
blah blah pid xyx(cvsnt) coredumped in my /var/log/messages file.

Due to the low traffic on the cvsnt list these days, I assume this is
a FreeBSD issue, not a cvsnt issue - no one else seems to be down.

Anyone have any ideas?  I sent a bunch of client-side info to the
cvsnt list, below, but the long & short of it is that cvsnt goes down
hard right after inetd launches it.  Can't find much server side info
other than the coredump notification in /var/log/messages.

I've got 8-release sources csup'd, I'm going to do an installworld in
case something got out of sync.  I'm grabbing at straws here,
obviously.  No cvsnt, I'm out of business until it's fixed.  Maybe
this will finally get me to move to subversion...

Thanks,
Steve
