Consider this source file:

  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/xntpd/lib/Attic/ranny.c

Question: what version should this command checkout?

  $ cvs co -D 'January 18, 1999 0:00' freebsd/src/usr.sbin/xntpd/lib/ranny.c

Perhaps version 1.1.1.2 would be correct, but instead you get 1.1.
It seems CVS is being inconsistent:

- If you had done a 'head' checkout on that date you would have gotten 1.1.1.2
- If you later do a 'head' checkout, and specify that date, you get 1.1

What am I missing here.. ? Has this behavior in CVS changed at some point?

Thanks,
-Archie
