Hi Everybody,

I have been working on a problem with the checkout program (co) on
RCS and can't explain the strangeness of its behaviour. Under
extreemely rare conditions it seems to complain about a references
to lines beyond EOF in the edit script. The error message is follows:

+ co -q -r6.2 /build/hiosfm/RCS/src/kernel/./machine/psw.h,v
co: /build/hiosfm/RCS/src/kernel/./machine/psw.h,v:226: edit script
refers to line past end of file
co aborted

If anyone has run into this before please let me know.
Thanks in advance,

Vijay
