OK got carried away there
Results not good after all.

But this may be a clue
Here is what happened.. in the past it seemed to core dump immediately - but 
now it transpires the dumping takes place only once the connection is made. I 
incorrectly assumed all was OK when I got the "Rejected by Server" message 
but jumped too quickly. So problem is still with us!!

Connected to cvsup10.FreeBSD.org
Rejected by server: Access limit exceeded; try again later
Will retry at 10:05:05
Retrying
Connected to cvsup10.FreeBSD.org
Bus error: 10 (core dumped)
[root at dns1 /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui]

Any ideas??
