rcs 5.8-1
A problem with rcs. - corrupt files..
Here is the sequence:
Create a 'hello world' file using vi.
Check in a file.
ci -u sam
Check out the file
co -l samget error when doing rlog on the next ci of the file. example: rlog samrlog: RCS/sam,v:31: junk at end of file: 't'
rlog aborted
Here is a hex dump of sam
$ od -cx sam

problem also exists if you add a line, then try to check in.
$ vi sam
$ ci -u sam
ci: RCS/sam,v:31: junk at end of file: 't'
ci aborted
---------------
Suspected line-ender problem.
Started over and used 'flip' to go with unix line-ender.
Same problems.
BUT it looks like the DOS lime ender was added after the flip by ci, or co.
$ vi henry
$ flip -u henry
$ od -cx henry
0000000 W h a t s u p ? \n \n
6857 7461 2073 7075 0a3f 000a
0000013
$ ci -u henry
RCS/henry,v <-- henry
enter description, terminated with single '.' or end of file:
NOTE: This is NOT the log message!
Did a flip before ci. .
initial revision: 1.1
done
$ co -l henry
RCS/henry,v --> henry
revision 1.1 (locked)
done
$ od -cx henry
0000000 W h a t s u p ? \r \n \r \n

----------------------
Promlem is still there.
$ rlog henry
rlog: RCS/henry,v:28: junk at end of file: '@'
rlog aborted
-----------------------
I have saved off my home directory.
Deleted Both the cygwin and the download directories.
Reinstalled from a different mirror.
reloaded my home.
Still problem.
I found that flip -u does better job than dos2unix.
-------------
reverting back to 5.7-11 of rcs bypasses problem.

PS
The cygcheck.out file will show that I reverted back to an older rcs.
