The above RCS package has the dreaded truncation after 1024 bytes bug:

    http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-07/msg00161.html

Please fix ASAP!

I have been using my own build without any problems for over a year.
I just switched to yours and tickled the bug almost immediately.
Shame on me for not being more cautious.  Sigh...

Thankfully, when I checked in five files, even though four got whacked,
the hardest to recreate didn't!

This experience reminds me of the old adage:

    There are only two types of users.  Those who have lost data and
    those who will.
