This looks to be a trivial change. Assuming that the syntax is similar.

What is the command line you invoked cvs2fossil with ?
In which phase of cvs2fossil does it fail ?
What is the error message ?

When you say cvsroot, are you talking about the top directory of your test
repository, or the administrative directory named 'CVSROOT' inside of it ?

What is the error message you see ?

That seems to be the biggest problem, and seems to indicate that a bad
repository was generated. I have not seen such a message before and do not know
what it signifies. This one will require serious source diving in fossil itself
to understand what it is complaining about before I can even try to understand
what cvs2fossil is doing wrong.

Tentatively agreed, and assuming I get more information about the problem, per
my questions above.
Best might be to give me both the command line you use, and the CVS repository
you are working with. I do not know however if the latter is something you can
(are allowed to) hand out outside of your company or organization.

Me neither, at this point.
