I found the problem. The crash occurs in info_trigger.cpp line 220:
int pret_enum_version_list(int num, const char **reslt, void *param)
{
pretag_information *info = (pretag_information*)param;
if(num>=info->name_list_count)
{
*reslt=NULL;
return 0;
}
*reslt=info->version_list[num];
return num+1<info->name_list_count;
}
It turned out that reslt was 0, so this patch makes things work for me:

Subject: Problem with taginfo after upgrade to 2.5.02.2083
After upgrading a (Debian 3.1) server from 2.0.51d, the tag
command fails:
>cvs tag xxx README
cvs [tag aborted]: end of file from server (consult above
messages if any)
After some troubleshooting (-ttt does not give any useful
information, and I did not succeed in getting any server trace despite
following the instructions on
http://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/faq/faq5.asp#4L), I found out that the
culprit was the CVSROOT/taginfo file:
ALL /cvs/cvs-scripts/checktag
Commenting out the line makes the tag succeed. However, even
this taginfo file
ALL /bin/true
still causes cvs tag to fail (this is the last few lines of the
trace):
11:48:23: S -> ACL lookup on directory /cvs/avet
11:48:23: S -> verify_acl(tag,HEAD,(null))
11:48:23: S -> user_state = 0, group_state = 0
11:48:23: S -> no match at this level
11:48:23: S -> RCS_getversion((null),(null),0)
11:48:23: S -> RCS_getversion(xxx,(null),1)
11:48:23: S -> run pretag proc
11:48:23: S -> run_trigger()
11:48:23: S -> Call pre-loaded 'default_trigger.la'
11:48:23: S -> pretag_proc(fne/lang/mail,add,xxx,N)
