If the disk has failed at that level I'd assume that there would be a 
general recovery from backups anyway.  RCS isn't really a database in 
the modern sense (there are plans to use one in the future but not right

now), but its simple structure has advantages - in the worst case you 
can load the RCS file into textpad and fix it up to remove any problems.
