Unfortunately I cannot reproduce this, even on a similarly old system
(SuSE 6.3, with gcc-2.91.66 and glibc-2.1.2). Therefore you're on your own
debugging this one.

$ gdb /usr/local/bin/msgfmt
(gdb) run -c --statistics -o cs.gmo cs.po
(gdb) where

Does the backtrace reveal something? Or can you cut down cs.po to the
absolute minimum that keeps msgfmt crashing?
