A bus error indicates a problem at a pretty deep level, such as in
improperly installed library (based on the stack trace, probably DB
related) or even a hardware (e.g., memory or CPU) error.  It is very
unlikely that the problem you are experiencing is with cvs2svn per se.

gdbm is not required and if cvs2svn doesn't emit an error then it thinks
that the database that you have installed is adequate.  But it could be
that that database is not installed correctly or incompatible with the
version of Python or the Python modules that you have installed, or that
cvs2svn is wrong about it being usable.  So one possibility would be to
re-install the old DB module or install another one.

You might also try running the conversion on another computer.  Under
Linux, for example, it is much easier to get the right stuff installed
and installed correctly.
