This is either a hardware problem (e.g. defect RAM), or a bug in your kernel. No user space process (like the CVS server) should be able to crash the complete machine. I would suggest to install a newer kernel version first. The most recent one is 2.6.12.5, AFAIK. Building the kernel is also a good test for defect memory. If you still can reproduce the problem with the new kernel, then I would suggest to ask this question on the Linux Kernel Mailing List (http://lkml.org/).
