[XviD-devel] CVS corruption ?

Hi,

i was playing with cvsplot on  xvid cvs, it's a perl script that outputs
a graph about lines and files commits of a cvs project.

It always fail at the same point:
<console output>
CVS command failed: "cvs -d ':pserver:anonymous at cvs.xvid.org:/xvid' co
-r 1.1 -p xvidcore/src/xvid.h" status 256
===================================================================
Checking out xvidcore/src/xvid.h
RCS:  /xvid/xvidcore/src/xvid.h,v
VERS: 1.1
***************
cvs [server aborted]: invalid change text in /xvid/xvidcore/src/xvid.h,v
</console output>

If i try to extract this file myself with:
$ cd $HOME/C/xvidcore/xvidcore
$ cvs up -r 1.1 src/xvid.h
cvs [server aborted]: invalid change text in /xvid/xvidcore/src/xvid.h,v




The error is the same, so the  perl script is not buggy and it's the cvs
server which is failing.

I also  noticed that all  my recent commits  were all ending in  a [pipe
broken] with the  cvs server. XviD is the only  cvs server which reports
me such an error. But my commits were validated anyway, that's why i did
not report these failures before.

So 2 questions:
Is the CVS corrupted (at least the xvid.h,v RCS file) ?
Is there a problem with the cvs server ?
