Since Solaris, like other Unix systems, does not distinguish between
text and binary files, the problem must be keyword expansion.  Are you
specifying a -k option to the export command (perhaps in your ~/.cvsrc
file)?  If so, that will override the -kb from the repository and quite
likely screw up your binaries.
