I just had to match the cvs2p4-2.5 with the version 2005.2 of the 
Perforce server (p4d) and client (p4).

I couldn't get any such luck with the latest cvs3p4. It always ended it 
either with a failure of diff or a dbmeta error (with the -gengood option).

That's not necessary anymore, at least for the time being.
I appreciate your availability to help.

We had about 17 of these files in one particular folder it happened 
always with the 10th file.

Yes, we've successfully converted our repositories without these files 
and added them manually to the p4 depot.
