Could it be that RCS is still using 32-bit offsets because it has not been
recompiled against newer cygwin headers to turn on 64-bit offsets?  You
can figure this out if the truncation is occuring on ,v files > 2 gig in size.

That is entirely true - without more details, especially a simple
testcase, very few people are motivated enough to try to help you resolve
the issue.
