------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ----------------------------
To me, the hypothesis of an error from your users is the most serious.

Yes, "checkins have been made by two different users", but the first one is 
from May 2002 and the second one from February 2003.

This evidence seems very weak. 
It also may be a bug in the tool used to update/generate the ChangeLog.  

We cannot investigate without further evidences.

Summary:  Sporadic corruption of large files

Original Submission:  There have been corruptions on at least 2 occations of 
ChangeLog files in the Emacs CVS repository.
For emacs/src/ChangeLog there is this entry (note number of deleted lines):

Revision 1.3109 / (view) - annotate - [select for diffs] , Wed Feb 19 13:07:30 
2003 UTC (12 days, 4 hours ago) by schwab
Branch: MAIN
Changes since 1.3108: +1626 -5848 lines 

and for emacs/lisp/ChangeLog there is this:

Revision 1.3832 / (view) - annotate - [select for diffs] , Sun May 5 00:09:53 
2002 UTC (9 months, 4 weeks ago) by walters
Branch: MAIN
Changes since 1.3831: +268 -6260 lines

Since these checkins are on files that just grows and the checkins have been 
made by two different users, one might suspect a bug in CVS at savannah.

Sorry for not having more useful information.
