The critical change that happened between 1.11.1p1 and 1.11.2 was that
we started using mmap() to access the RCS files when possible.  It would
appear that mmap() exists on your system but is seriously broken.  You
should check to see if there are any OS patches to fix it.  You might
also want to try building CVS with the Sun compiler rather than GCC.  As
a workaround, you can undefine HAVE_MMAP in the generated config.h to
force CVS to use regular file I/O instead of mmap().
