According to my POSIX.1 spec, signal 11 is SIGSEGV. If it has to do with running
out of memory, something not improbable with a 680MB history file, I would think
that a NULL pointer returned by a bad alloc call had been accessed, but those are
usually hard to get with CVS due to the way it allocates memory. Of course, I
suppose it's also possible that cvs 1.10.8 expects a history line longer that 1.9
provides or some such, though I haven't heard of this coming up in the past. Can
you send me a debugger backtrace from the core your server dumped?
