RE: Cvs2svn dies with "dbm.error: cannot add item to database"

Below is the version info. This is Solaris 8; I suspect the dbm
implementation isn't as good as what cvs2svn is used to.

I tried last week to build Python using gdbm instead of ndbm, but I
don't think I did it right. It still failed, though slightly
differently (dbm_error returned 0 instead of 2). Do you know anything
about getting Python to use a different dbm implementation? Can it be
made to use Berkeley DB?

We do have a linux box here (RedHat 8), so I'm going to try to install
svn on that and try it there. I'll let you know how it goes.

What platform are you running cvs2svn.py on?  OS, exact version of
python, exact revision of cvs2svn, etc...
I'm asking because I couldn't reproduce the error:
   $ cvs2svn.py --create -s r bad_cvs2svn_repository
   [...no errors...]
   $ 
   $ grep LastChangedRevision cvs2svn.py
   # $LastChangedRevision: 6381 $
   $ python
