What version of cvs? Did you get a backtrace of the core dump? Was there
any assertion error message printed as the output?

Did you use 'cvs import -I ! module/path vendor vendortag' and also
happen to have a 'CVS' directory in the import list? If so, you might
want to use 'cvs import -I ! -I CVS module/path vendor vendortag'
instead.

Note that adding a new project need not be done via a 'cvs import'
command, you may also use something like

  cvs checkout -d top .
  cd top
  mkdir new-module-name
  cvs add new-module-name
  : and then add more files as you wish and commit them as normal

The above disclaimer is a bit silly when sent to an e-mail list.
You do not have rights to prohibit dissemination to a public list.
