BzrFastImport / Bazaar fatal error

[Guido Ostkamp]

Hello,

I tried to continue conversion of a Git repository to Bazaar with 
BzrFastImport when Bazaar crashed with the fatal error stated below.

The Git repository has about ~40000 changesets.

Does anyone has an idea what's the problem?

Should I try and restart the conversion once again?

Thanks for any hints.

Best regards
