Thank you very much for your bug report.  With your description,
I was able to reproduce the segfault with these commands:

  $ cvssync anonym...@glide.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/glide glide3x
  $ find glide3x | cvs-fast-export >glide3x.fi
  cvs-fast-export: warning - no master branch generated
  Segmentation fault
  $

And I have forwarded your report upstream.  Hope Eric will have time
to look at it in the near future.  :-)

Cheers,
Anthony
