"Terminated with fatal signal" usually means there's a bug in the program.
To see what all the signals are, look in the manpage signal(7) (probably
with the command 'man 7 signal').  10 is probably SIGBUS, which means
there was a memory error.

I don't know if this particular case is a know bug, or if a newer version of
CVS might fix this, or if it might just randomly go away tomorrow...
