Hi, I'm using 1.11.1.3 Build 68 and I'm also experiencing this problem. I have a few remarks to add that could be useful to track down the problem: 1) If I use "cvs update" I get a correct binary file of the last version; 2) If I use "cvs -r x.x update" I also get a correct binary file of any previous versions; 3) If I use "cvs -p -r x.x update" I get a garbled file. It's not just a CRLF translation problem: I inspected the file with a hex editor and it clearly contains text strings that shouldn't be there. Weird!
