It's an outside chance, but this smells a tiny bit like this bug that was
fixed in 2017.2:

#1525293 (Bug #90697) **
    Parallel submit from an Edge Server could corrupt the
    archives of non-ktext files if they contain RCS
keywords.
    This has been fixed.


The nature of it was the we were submitting certain windows binaries that
happened to have the character sequence "$Version$" in the
metadata. The server was finding this and munging it. The difference here is
that in our case the submit would go through on the first try but you'd get
weird failures when syncing. Our workaround was to disable parallel submit using
a trigger (haven't upgraded yet.)

Are you in a commit->edge architecture, running a server older than 2017.2
and using parallel submit? If not, ignore message.  :)

If so, perhaps disable parallel submit explicitly on your next submit and see
what happens.

Even though your submit eventually succeeds, I'd be weary that it's
actually correct. It might be fun to p4 verify the last revision and compare it
to the locally run md5sum to see if they're the same.

BTW, we probably have files submitted that are bigger than 60 MB every day,
often much larger (1 GB or more.) Until we ran into this bug we've never had
a problem with bigger binary files.
