Hi all,

I got this error when commiting binary files :

Checking in a.gif;
/tmp/repository/tests_cvsnt/a.gif,v  <--  a.gif
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0xb7ceadc7 ***
cvs [commit aborted]: received abort signal

Here is a complete test case :

$ wget http://www.google.ca/images/dot.gif
$ cvs add -kB dot.gif
$ cvs commit dot.gif
$ wget http://www.dsiegel.com/tips/resources/dot_green.gif -O dot.gif
$ cvs commit dot.gif
Checking in dot.gif;
/tmp/repository/tests_cvsnt/dot.gif,v  <--  dot.gif
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0xb7d2ddc7 ***
cvs [commit aborted]: received abort signal


cvsnt version : 2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build 2260 (client/server)
under linux (archlinux 0.7.2)
built with gcc (GCC) 4.0.3
glibc 2.3.6
