I was referring to the following:

The base64-tests file has been broken in the repository for a long
time, and I'm still waiting for someone to fix it. The problem was
that that file used to have a raw-zero character embedded in it,
which CVS apparently doesn't grok. Even worse, I can't find a way to
fix the situation, even after having removed the offending
character.
Wouldn't directly hacking the RCS file help? Otherwise why don't we
just remove the existing file and add a fresh copy?
If you want, I'll mail you a working copy of the file.
thanks. I have one, back from the time when you first added it.
