The val-tags file caches valid tag names so that CVS doesn't have to
recurse over the entire repository to determine that a tag is valid.
Each line should be a valid tag name followed by a space and "y". From
the above error, it would seem that the file has been corrupted and now
contains multiple lines beginning with "y ". You can edit the file by
hand and just delete the suspicious lines (or you can delete the whole
thing, if you want); since it's a cache, it will be regenerated as
required.
