The root problem is that the CVS repository is in a strange state, I
believe. The RCS file Attic/pgc.c,v has following metadata for the most
recent revision of the file:

1.5
date 99.06.29.04.54.48; author vadim; state Exp;
branches
1.5.2.1;
next 1.4;

AFAICS this is wrong: the file should be deleted and is in Attic/, so it
should have "state dead;" (which is the state that most of the deleted
files have for their last revision). preproc.c,v has the same error --
you could check for other files with the same problem by diff'ing a
fresh checkout from SVN with the same result from CVS. (Was this never
done?)

I think the right fix is for someone with shell access to the CVS master
to manually move ecpg/Attic/pgc.c,v to ecpg/pgc.c,v, do a fresh CVS
checkout/update, and then "cvs delete pgc.c". Similarly for preproc.c,v.
