Hi,

For some reason my machine keeps crashing almost every night at around
3:00am with the following test in the messages log file:

Jun 14 03:02:28 taco kernel: pid 7174 (sh), uid 0: exited on signal 11
(core dumped)

I tracked it down to cvsup. I run it every night at 3:00am, the
following is the log file that I make it create:

=3D=3D=3Dupdate-os started by root on  at Mon Jun 13 03:01:00 2005=3D=3D=3D
Connected to cvsup.ca.freebsd.org
Updating collection src-all/cvs
TreeList failed: Error in
"/usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/src-all/checkouts.cvs:RELENG_5_3": 37510:
File is truncated.  Delete it and try again.

The following is the 'update-os' script I made:

echo "=3D=3D=3Dupdate-os started by $USER on $HOST at `date +%c`=3D=3D=3D" =
>>
/usr/local/etc/cvsup/log/update-os.log
#!/bin/sh
echo "Updating OS sources with cvsup..."
/usr/local/bin/cvsup /usr/local/etc/cvsup/supfile.os >>
/usr/local/etc/cvsup/log/update-os.log

The supfile.os:

*default host=3Dcvsup.ca.freebsd.org compress
*default release=3Dcvs
*default base=3D/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default prefix=3D/usr
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default tag=3DRELENG_5_3
src-all

I decided to rm the file
'/usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/src-all/checkouts.cvs:RELENG_5_3' just to
see if that fixed it. And it did, but why was it crashing the entire
box?
