Corroupted CVS File (fwd)

[Cy Schubert]

John,

It appears I may not be going insane after all. The file is received OK 
from cvsup7 and from cvsup10. When I check out (using cvs co) from my 
local repo or rsync the repo to another machine on my network here at 
home, the file is corrupted. Looks like I've found some kind of issue 
with -CURRENT. I'm running 5.1-REL.

The rsync process is still running. It hasn't even copied the file over 
yet it appears to have made it's first pass through my CVS tree and 
suddenly the file is corrupt. I've run the following against my CVS 
tree:

	find . -type f | file -f - | grep ':.*data$'

It's managed to flag quite a few files however only the file in 
question appears to be damaged so far.

I'm cc'ing this to current@ as I'm fearing the worst at the moment.


Cheers,

Strange. I could have sworn that I removed the file and cvsupped again. 
Anyhow I did and it fixed the problem. Hope this doesn't portend how 
the rest of my day will go.
