Assumption 2) you have already ran

you can do the init through pserver, it may have to be local).
Assumption 3) jrancier exists as a unix user on jrsun, and you can login in
with that user name. 
Assumption 4) CVSROOT/passwd does not exist.
Assumption 5) [x]inetd's configuration has been modified according to the
CVS manual and restarted.
Assumption 6) you got your cvs binary from some place reliable.
Assumption 7) you have again followed the manual's troubleshooting guide[4].

Which version of cvs does yours report itself (cvs --version) to be? I don't
find the above message in my OLD copy of the source or in the current
manual[3], and if we are going to look for it we need to know where to look.

Ok looks reasonably the same, but we still don't know why the abort happens.

Where did you get that package? Are you adverse to getting a tarball[1] from
cvshome.org and compiling yourself, and/or try the one compiled up on
cvshome[2]?

Yes I am stumped.
