I have a better bug report. Here is a "micro" CVS repository which
causes the error. It contains only 1 file with 2 revisions. And the
sequence of errors that cause it.

All the files are here:

http://turingmachine.org/~dmg/temp/monotone-debug-dmg20050512.tar.gz

The README file contains the following:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an example of a repository that fails to be imported into monotone.

   CVSrepository.tar.gz

The commands used to import it are: 

   monotone db init --db=~/cvs.repo/rip.db
   monotone db init --db=~/cvs.repo/rip.db
   monotone  --db=~/cvs.repo/rip.db genkey address@hidden
   monotone --debug --db=~/cvs.repo/rip.db --branch=import.courses cvs_import 
/home/dmg/cvs.repo/temp > /tmp/monotone.out 2> /tmp/monotone.err


The output from the last command are:

  monotone.err  (stderr)
  monotone.out  (stdout)

And this is the monotone repository:

  rip.db
