Subject: What to do if git-cvsimport/cvsps hangs?

This is probably more of a cvsps question than a GIT question, but
AFAICT, the cvsps upstream is mostly inactive these days.

I tried to import the PostgreSQL repository, using

  git-cvsimport  -d :pserver:[email-masked]:/projects/cvsroot -k -C pgsql pgsql

However, after a bit of activity, git-cvsimport hangs at the following
line

  cvs rlog: Logging pgsql/src/win32

strace doesn't show any system call activtiy in the cvsps process
(which consumes 100% CPU).  cvsps is Debian's 2.1-2 version.

Is there some kind of replacement for cvsps which works more reliably?
