All I can think of is that I somehow OOM'd when I manually ran a repack

Sounds likely -- and cvsimport restarts gracefully, though you might want to do

   git checkout HEAD

to get a usable checkout if the very first import failed. However, the
default head is master, and what you want to look at is origin or
whatever you passed as your -o parameter. I use cvshead normally, so I
do

   git log cvshead

My dmesg talks about an earlier cvs segfault. Nasty tree you have here
-- it's breaking all sorts of things... and teaching us a thing or two
about the import process.

Committed patch 249100 (origin 2005-08-20 05:05:58)

Hmmm? How can you be at patch 249100 and still be a good year ahead of
me? Have you told cvsps to cut off old history?

Nope. I ran the exact cvsps flags you posted earlier to create it.

Oh, that was an earlier PEBKAK at my end: I did git log HEAD instead
of git log cvshead. My import is now at  293145 (cvshead +0000
2005-12-25 12:24:42) which looks promising.
