Package: rcs
Version: 5.8.1-1

        When using symbolic names, one being substring of another, RCS
        now appears to somehow confuse the two.  Consider, e. g.:

$ rlog -rfoo  nh3ypimyfqowgqnkiza1dhx9ib 

RCS file: RCS/nh3ypimyfqowgqnkiza1dhx9ib,v
Working file: nh3ypimyfqowgqnkiza1dhx9ib
head: 1.2
branch:
locks: strict
access list:
symbolic names:
        foo_bar: 1.2
        foo: 1.1
keyword substitution: kv
total revisions: 2;     selected revisions: 1

Added ‘bar’.
=============================================================================
$ 

        That is, now that there's ‘foo_bar’, the ‘foo’ name appears to
        be interpreted as ‘foo_bar’!

        Cf. the behavior of rcs 5.7-25:

$ rlog -rfoo  nh3ypimyfqowgqnkiza1dhx9ib 

RCS file: RCS/nh3ypimyfqowgqnkiza1dhx9ib,v
Working file: nh3ypimyfqowgqnkiza1dhx9ib
head: 1.2
branch:
locks: strict
access list:
symbolic names:
        foo_bar: 1.2
        foo: 1.1
keyword substitution: kv
total revisions: 2;     selected revisions: 1

$ 

        The behavior of co(1) changes similarly across the versions.
