   I made the attempt with my 12GB of RAM against an rsync clone
of the CVS src repo, and it made it a fair ways, if slowly, until
it hit:

371622 avoid losing precision warnings
371621 add explicit casts to avoid parameter conversion warnings.
371620 fix non-portable bit-fields
371619 const poisoning.
371618 - Process all passed option rather than ignoring silently except the 
first one.
abort: malformed response from CVS

   The "const poisoning" version was from July 2000, and seems to
have been imported properly. I'll see if I can figure out why
exactly it died, and also see how it does with xsrc, pkgsrc, and
pkgsrc-wip.
