Yep. Obviously a bug in Windows CVS, IMHO. You might be able to avoid it
using the '-kb' (for 'binary') argument at checkout time, but that'll
disable some other features that may be useful to have...

A better workaround might be to use a checkout/checkin filtering rule
that runs 'utod' and 'dtou' over every file. 

The 'real' fix would require source-level intervention into that
Windows port of CVS, of course.
