Paul,
Check the cvs-info archives for December, 2000 available at
http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/info-cvs/2000-December.txt
and search for the thread entitled "Proposal to fix CVS binary
file implementation."
The solution that worked for me was to patch the CVS code
to never allow a command-line override of -kb if
assigned to an archive.
I notice that the patch I submitted is mangled a bit in the mail
archive file, so I've attached it here again. It applies to the
cvs-1.11 version of vers_ts.c
