I did two import operations, with nothing else happening, to get this to
happen.

Very strange, isn't it?

BTW, looking directly into one of the affected files, kopt is clearly bogus:

1.1.1.2
date    2005.02.19.08.15.49;    author dsomers; state Exp;
branches;
next    ;
deltatype       text;
permissions     644;
commitid        12e9429b5f799ead;
kopt    <E6><B7>|<FA><E6><B7><C8>\^R ^Q;
filename        acinclude.m4;

Tony, do you have a dangling pointer and are writing out garbage for kopt?

Cheers,
