I think it's just something with r21-2-21. That tag just didn't make
it to every file. Don't use that tag!
Note how r21-2-21 is missing below.

What are you doing with r21-2-21 anyways? Why not
cvs update -rrelease-21-2
(not that the current state of CVS could be considered stable).
There is an unreliability in the cvs tag command that I believe I have
worked around in the current release engineering script.
