While cvs clients doing check out to a folder vizexperts_tree under cvsroot,it gives the following error after checking out some files from the folder:

Code:

Did you try to look this up?? From the CVS page, and a quick Google search:
http://cvsman.com/cvs-1.12.12/cvs_210.php

This means that there is a syntax error in the given RCS file. Note that this might be true even if RCS can read the file OK; CVS does more error checking of errors in the RCS file. That is why you may see this message when upgrading from CVS 1.9 to CVS 1.10. The likely cause for the original corruption is hardware, the operating system, or the like. Of course, if you find a case in which CVS seems to corrupting the file, by all means report it, (see section Dealing with bugs in CVS or this manual). There are quite a few variations of this error message, depending on exactly where in the RCS file CVS finds the syntax error.

Yes I have checked that page, but in the RCS file there is no syntax error and I am not upgrading to a new version ,for which I will get this error.

Sometimes the error come out and sometimes not.
