I remember that togit reported a broken pipe. My feeling was
that git-fastimport aborted, which may be reason why tohg
worked better.

yah, that pretty much tells me it is shawn's bug :)  but without more 
details, it is very hard to diagnose.  tohg should tell you which rcs revs 
are the offenders.  be sure to use a recent fromcvs however.

Tonight I'm going to try and add crash dump reporting to fast-import.
Once that's in it should make debugging some of these failed imports
easier, as we'll be able to see the immediate commands leading up
to the crash and the internal state of fast-import when it barfed.

Of course one needs to locate an ugly repository and run on it...
