My main beef however is that is a pretty nasty way to handle the error. CVSup should not puke debug info and then core when a datafile has errors that it can detect. It should be handled gracefully, alert the user to the error, either offer to correct the issue (delete the file or invalid entry) or gracefully exit at that point.
