I updated yesterday, installed the world and a new kernel.  That all
worked.  Today when I run cvsup with the same supfile I used yesterday
I get a core dump:

# cvsup /root/current-supfile


***
*** runtime error:
***    Segmentation violation - possible attempt to dereference NIL
***

Abort trap (core dumped)         # cvsup /root/current-supfile


If I truss it, with truss cvsup supfile, it works.

# file cvsup.core
cvsup.core: data      

# gdb cvsup.core

"/usr/ports/lang/modula-3/cvsup.core": not in executable format: File format not recognized

(I'm in that directory in order to rebuild cvsup for this build to get
cvsup working again, but I can't compile modula-3...).

Is there a new static binary to use?

I thought the problem was my hostname, which was null, but I went ahead
and set that (this is on a laptop doing DHCP).

TIA,
