[cvsnt] Re: unexpected '\x0' reading revision number in RCS file

[Jesse]

Apparently, there was a Null character at the end of the file.  Deleting 
this fixed the file, but I have no desire to have to manually change the 
file every time someone commits a new version! ( or whatever caused that 
Null character to appear.)

Has anyone had experience with this?  Could it be because I had manually 
un-write-protected the file, and someone then committed a new version?
Anyone have a more sane idea?
