There is a corrupted RCS file in the repository; unfortunately, CVSNT 
will not be able to read this. If you need to retrieve 1.1, I'm 
afraid you'll need to recover from a backup.
Migrating from your old CVSNT version to a newer one certainly is a 
very good idea and may help from now on, but not to recover from this.
I can't determine if this corruption came from CVSNT itself or 
anybody tampering with the RCS file.

It's the size of a disk sector. And it's a common value for 
memory-allocation schemes (like other powers of 2), so I was thinking 
of internal buffer sizes in the RCS handling code. This is pure speculation.
