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

On RedHat, cvs2svn is chugging along fine on my repository, currently
being several passes "------- Committed revision 2798 >>>..." beyond
where it was failing on the Solaris machine.

Assuming the repository will be portable between Linux and Solaris, I
can accept doing migrations (for testing and presumably for an eventual
final migration) on the Linux machine and moving the repository.

I'm willing to provide any assistance/information needed to figure out
why it is failing on the Solaris machine. We don't know, though, that
the problem isn't specific to this one machine or to how I installed
things.

I don't offhand, but maybe someone here does (or check the docs at
python.org, they're very thorough.)
What I'm mainly interested in is determining exactly which db is causing
a problem and why, so cvs2svn.py can somehow test for it...

Thanks.

A little bit behind HEAD, but not significantly so.
