Tonight I'm going to try and add crash dump reporting to fast-import. Once that's in it should make debugging some of these failed imports easier, as we'll be able to see the immediate commands leading up to the crash and the internal state of fast-import when it barfed.

Of course one needs to locate an ugly repository and run on it...
