This is cvsup not being bug-compatible with cvs.  These files
really were brought back from the dead, but cvs doesn't check
them out because it left them in the Attic.  

The repository needs to be fixed; all of the files that are dead on the
vendor branch should be updated to be dead but not be on the vendor
branch.  I know that futzing with the RCS files directly is considered
too dangerous to think about, but is probably the easiest way to handle
this case since cvs doesn't seem to want to.  A sample RCS-file-munching is:

This is a trivial set of transforms that can be applied to any RCS
file which has no rev 1.2 and is dead on the vendor branch.
