cvs tree still crashes on Alpha, possible solution?

The cvs tree still segfaults on my alpha. In fact as of last night's version it
does do even faster, as soon as I select a menu item.

I get a lot of warnings when compiling ut_regex.c:

ut_regex.c:

And many more such.

Pointer to integer (and vice versa) is a common source of trouble on Alpha
machines.

Does this provide any clues to anyone who knows more about these things than I?
