The RCS file in your test repository has its default branch set to
"1.12.4.3.2.1.2", which is very unusual.  (The default branch usually
results from a vendor import and is usually something like "1.1.1".)  It
would take some research even to figure out what CVS does with something
like this and therefore how it should be converted into SVN.

If this only occurs in one file in your repository, then hand-editing
the file to fix it (though I'm not sure the best fix) is probably the
easiest alternative.  If it affects lots of files, then you should put
more thought into how the situation arose and how you would like it to
be represented in Subversion.

It is, of course, a bug that cvs2svn crashes in this situation.  It
should, at a minimum, emit an error message and fail in a respectable
manner.
