Situation:
binary file
locally modified in windows
newer version in repository, modified in linux
cygwin in dos text file type mode

Command:
cvs update

Output:
U expense.xls
cvs update: nonmergeable file needs merge
cvs update: revision 1.30 from repository is now in expense.xls
cvs update: file from working directory is now in .#expense.xls.1.29
C expense.xls

Result:
.#expense.xls.1.29 is corrupt

Suspected cause:
moving of expense.xls to .#expense.xls.1.29 is done by cvs character for
character, thereby destroying the newline information
