large binary file

[Frédéric Génin]

Hello,

I have a problem with large binary files using a cvspserver 1.12.13. I 
attached a bash script (cvs.sh) to reproduce the problem.

* Results when using cvs server 1.12.13

When the file binary,v stored on the server reaches 2 Gbytes or slightly
above, the server corrupts the file and some (almost all) data have been 
lost. Then, the *next* commit/update/log command is aborted with the 
following error message:

cvs [log aborted]: EOF while looking for end of string in RCS file
/cvsroot/cvs_project/binary-cvs,v

* Results when using cvs server 1.11.22

When the file binary,v stored on the server reaches 2 Gbytes, the commit
is aborted with the following error message:

Terminated with fatal signal 25

The commit process aborted and the lock file remains in the repository,
but the file binary,v is not corrupted.

So it looks like a bug in cvs 1.12.13. At least, it should behave like 
1.11.22, even if I am not fully satisfied by the 2 Gbytes limit.
