How about running the script with `sh -x' and send me the output (also
modify tla-cvs-sync so it uses `sh -x' to run tla-update-tags too).

Seeing the contents of the various temporary files it created
(everything starting with a comma) might also give some clue (maybe
comment out the line that removes them).

Also try making mawk your default /usr/bin/nawk (mawk is the default on
Debian actually, so I'm a bit surprised you're using gawk if you don't
do any awk hacking yourself).

The fact that the error is `fatal error: internal error' is a bit
mystifying, I'm not even sure what that means (a bug in gawk?).
