Repository troubles - expert help needed

[Mike Ayers]

	I am having serious problems, and need help.  I suspect that my repository is 
corrupted.  I would like to know what to do to fix it.

	As part of the project documentation, I checked in the WinCVS user's guide. 
This is 1 html file, wincvs11.htm, and about 60 images named Image*.jpg 
(numbered 1-63 with a few missing).  The problem is with Image55.jpg and 
possibly Image56.jpg.  I found that I could get logs on Image57.jpg and 
Image54.jpg, but not those two.  I also could get logs on other randomly 
sampled files.  It seems that any operation on the directory will fail when it 
gets to Image55.jpg:

cvs update -P (in directory C:\dssi\cameras\cam1\tools\doc\WinCVS\)
cvs update: Updating .
cvs update: nothing known about Image55.jpg

	I am seeing a process crash (I suspect that it's the spawned CVS process) 
whenever I try to update the directory.  After the crash, there is a new file 
left in the repository such as:

#cvs.rfl.fluffy(mike).1208

        My machine is fluffy and my username is mike.

	When I cd into the repository directory and `more` the files, I notice that all 
the files have headers:

<SNIP>
head    1.1;
access;
symbols
        dssi-cam1-0_3:1.1
        dssi-cam1-0_2:1.1;
locks; strict;
comment @# @;
expand  @b@;

        EXCEPT Image55.jpg,v and Image56.jpg,v!  I think I'm getting warm 
here...

	The real issue, though, is how to correct this problem without disturbing the 
rest of the repository.

        Gurus?
