"cvsup"ing every night with the follofing supfile: *default host=cvsup.uk.freebsd.org *default prefix=/usr/CVSup *default base=/usr/local/sup/status *default delete use-rel-suffix compress *default release=cvs cvs-all >Description: on checking our the source tree with: cvs -R -q -r checkout -r RELENG_2_2 src I get errors again and again. cvs checkout: `/usr/CVSup/src/gnu/usr.bin/groff/devX100-12/Attic/S,v' does not appear to be a valid rcs file cvs checkout: `/usr/CVSup/src/gnu/usr.bin/groff/devX100-12/Attic/S,v' does not appear to be a valid rcs file cvs [checkout aborted]: `/usr/CVSup/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/perl/spat.h,v' does not appear to be a valid rcs file Blowing them away (rm) and re-cvsup'ing cures the problem. By looking at this files with less, it's obvious that they're broken. They contain lots of 0-bytes. Sometimes even some other junk between the NUL's. I kept the two above-mentioned files. In case anyone wants them. >How-To-Repeat: don't know exactly. But this re-occurs always.
