Help !!

Using CVSNT 2.0.26 on Windows server2003.

My repository started failing over the weekend, and I thought I had it straighend out.

Random repository files are being corrupted.  
The following is what the head file should look like:

head	1.5;
access;
symbols
	New_Units_Done_Round2:1.5

(With unix lf (0x0a) chars)

What My file does look like is: (in hex dump format)

00000000: 6874 6174 090a 2e0a 3b0a 610a 630a 730a  htat....;.a.c.s. 
00000010: 3b0a 730a 6d0a 6f0a 730a 094e 6577 5f55  ;.s.m.o.s..New_U 
00000020: 6e69 7473 5f44 6f6e 655f 526f 756e 6432  nits_Done_Round2 
00000030: 3a31 2e35 0a09 4d61 7263 6832 3030 3452  :1.5..March2004R 
00000040: 6563 6f6e 6369 6c65 5374 6172 743a 312e  econcileStart:1.  


The files are not very active, and have not been committed recently.

I have stoped and restarted the cvsnt service and new files have been corrupted since 
the restart.

only a handfull of files have seen this problem.


every other character seems to be corrupted. 


Does anyone have any suggestions or help they can offer.

Thanks

Carl
