The RCS version that is part of the stock 1.2

	blackie% /usr/bin/rcs -V
	RCS version 5.6.7.4 (beta)

Does not work with CVS 1.8 or 1.9.  You'll find this out if you bother
doing a make check.  Get and install rcs 5.7 to solve the problem.
Both RCS-5.7 and CVS-1.9 are available in ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu
