The "ZDTDSA" text is part of a random string generated by cvs_temp_name.
The error is occuring because cvs is not able to do a diff between the
old and new versions of the file.

It would be a fine idea for you to include a bit more information.

  a) hardware and operating system information
     (eg, I am writing this message from a i386 FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE
      system accoring to the 'uname -a' output)

  -> version of cvs you are using on the client and server
     (eg, the output of the 'cvs version' or 'cvs -v' command)

If you felt like being generious, you would send the output of the
following commands:

        uname -a
        cvs -v
        cvs version
        cvs status SPECI/Group12a/Headers
        cvs -t commit SPECI/Group12a/Headers

this might let us help you figure out the problem you are encountering.

        Good luck,
