I doubt that 2.5.04 or 2.5.05 will make any difference now - the RCS file 
(the revision 1.1) is corrupt.

What needs testing is whether you can add the original revisions to a 'new' 
file using 2.5.05 (or 2.5.04) and reproduce the corruption.

It's a real shame we don't record the CVSNT revision number in the 
properties of each revision, because it'd make this much easier to prove. 
We've got a LOT of commercial customers on 2.5.03 so I'd be surprised if 
that caused it - but of course perhaps it's a bug caused by a dependant 
library or you started out prior to build 2382.
