This is really disquieting. vc.el worked like a charm on 19.36.6 and B18
but after upgrading to B19, it sometimes fails to check a new version
in, with no warning what so ever. But upon co it howls "unexpected end
of file RCS/calc.y,v  co aborted" leaving me with a small portion of my
calc.y file.... 
What makes me really wonder is the fact that this is totally
reproducible on some files only...
Next when i try to co an old version trough emacs, it complains:" $1\":
-c: line 3: syntax error: unexpected end of file"

Please try to focus on that, you mighty gurus out there!

Cheers
Erwin
