That's one place where CVS has deviated from the "golden"
path set by RCS -- RCS is very careful to always work with
revision numbers as strings rather than converting back
and forth between strings and integers, so it never has
such problems.  CVS was not as carefully implemented.
Fixing it would be a worthwile goal.
