Thanks for the report. The error message

   /apps/unsupported/bin/autopoint: line 405: 18494 Segmentation fault cvs -d 
"$CVSROOT" init

indicates that not autopoint dumped core (otherwise you wouldn't see further
messages about cvs checkout, find etc.) but rather ther cvs command dumped core,
and autopoint simply reported it.

What is the output of

1)      $ cvs --version
2)      $ pwd
