Nasty assertion error when trying to checkout a tagged revision

[Bruce Pennypacker]

Hi folks,

We have a CVS repository based on version 1.11, and up until now
everything's been going fairly smoothly.  We're now having problems trying
to checkout files with specific tags.  The file shown below has about 50
tagged revisions and all but the one shown below can be successfully checked
out.  It's only when we try to check out this specific revision that we get
this huge ugly assertion error.  Anybody have any suggestions as to why this
is happening?  Also, is there a limit on the number of tags that a file can
contain?  I searched www.cvshome.org and looked through the CVS book I have
but didn't find any mention of limits.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated!
