All you should have needed as
cvs-1.11.19-sol8-sparc-local.gz The diffutils and
rcs packages should only be needful if you are
planning to run ViewCVS or some other add-on.

Core dumps are almost always bugs of some kind
(the only exception being when you ask for one
explicity).

You sould use a series of 'cvs add' commands.
First for the directories and then for the files
of those directories.

What does the core file say?

Download a gdb (http://sunfreeware.com/programlistsparc8.html#gdb)
ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/sparc/8/gdb-6.0-sol8-sparc-local.gz
and use something like

    ssh server
    cd /tmp/cvs-serv23418
    gdb /usr/local/bin/cvs core
    bt

to see what you can see.
