Pretty sure. 
I have this alias:
        alias cvs='/usr/local/ultra/cvs-1.10.8.stripped'
I have this in my home dir:
        lrwxrwxrwx   1 rbresner staff         
                36 Dec 11 16:15 cvs -> /usr/local/ultra/cvs-1.10.8.stripped

Also, when I tried doing CVS history commands with the older cvs (1.9.x)
it would die immediately with "out of memory" errors. 
With 1.10.8, the history command will sit for a long long while trying
to get through our history, then it will die with the signal 11.

There is 256MB memory, 1GB virtual memory.
The history file is 619918470 bytes.

Egads.
