 Well, this is actually correct.  The reason is that the FreeBSD CVS
 repository now only expands $FreeBSD$ when extracting, nothing else.
 
 What you see above is actually the real commit.  When 1.7 was
 committed the Id line from 1.6 (which was of course in the committers
 local file) was actually committed into CVS like any other change.  I
 think more recent versions of CVS has changed that so the keyword
 expansions are not actually commited in.
 
 If you look at the actual ,v file in the repostiory it has:
 
 1.7
 log
 @#include <sys/queue.h> or die horribly.
 @
 text
 @d34 1
 a34 1
  * $Id: in_pcb.h,v 1.6 1995/04/09 01:29:19 davidg Exp $
 a38 2
 
 #include <sys/queue.h>
 @
 
 I don't really think there is a way to "fix" this, since that would
 require some magic to tell CVS when it should expand $Id$ and when it
 should not.
