cvs2svn was executed on Ubuntu. The dump file was gzipped and then
moved via FTP *to* Windows.

Yeah, I have seen these as well but not for repository files. Scripts,
though, are vulnerable.

So I have two dump files:
bosse-dump made by cvs2svn
loads fine in svn on Ubuntu but errors out on Windows

bosse.dump made by svnadmin dump on Ubuntu based on the above load.
Gzipped and FTP:ed to Windows, loads fine using svnadmin load on
windows.

Unfortunately it is not possible to run a compare on them because
their sources are different and so diffs are everywhere, I believe.

Probably a cvs2svn problem....
