David,
    I successfully executed the "fink reinstall fink" command from the
terminal but when I tried the "selfupdate" command, I got the following:

/usr/bin/su walterhofmeister -c 'cvs  -z3 update -d -P'
*** malloc: vm_allocate(size=1342177280) failed with 3
*** malloc[476]: error: Can't allocate region
cvs [update aborted]: can not reallocate 1342177280 bytes
### execution of /usr/bin/su failed, exit code 1
Failed: Updating using CVS failed. Check the error messages above.

This is the same output I got from both FinkCommander and Terminal.
Is it trying to write a virtual memory file 1.34 gig? The disk has 4.1 gig
of free space. Any ideas? Is something hosed?
