Gah, yes. Sorry - silly mistake on my part.

In that case, I'd use a shell script wrapper on the server - install
it as /usr/bin/cvs, and move the original cvs to cvs.real. The
following should work for you as a wrapper, I hope:

=====================
#!/bin/sh
cd /tmp
ulimit -c unlimited
cvs.real $@
=====================

It should leave a core dump in /tmp for you; obviously, cd to some
other directory if you prefer...
