I didn't think cvsup linked with any threads library, let alone libc_r
which hasn't been the default since 5.2.  Do you have an LD_PRELOAD
environment variable set, or maybe an /etc/libmap.conf file that maps
something to libc_r?

Since you're sunning cvsup in checkout mode, you might want to try
csup, which is a new command in 6.2 and takes the same supfile and
command line flags as cvsup does.

Probably unrelated to the coredump, but if you're updating ports, you
probably want

 *default release=cvs tag=.

in your cvsup file.  What you have (tag=RELENG_6_2) will give you the
same ports tree that was burned onto the 6.2 CDs, which will never
change.
