Hello,
I sometimes get the following error message when running "cvs up":
cvs update: checksum failure after patch to some_dir/some_file.c; will

Is this serious? It seems that, after the update, the file in particular
is correct...
What is the reason for this message?

I might be convinced about "P" status (although, personally, I like it),
