	This is not a cut-and-paste of the output.  Please send a 
cut-and-paste of the output, or reproduce the output faithfully. 
Approximate error messages do not help.

	If you find this out, please tell us.   :-)  (Other than the line 
ending issue, that is).

	What params are you changing?  Opening a JPEG file in an editor and 
resaving it should change nothing.

        Server CVS version?
	Client/server protocol?  :ext: with ssh is implied, but you give an 
OpenSSH version, and TortoiseCVS only works with PLINK.EXE, which does 
not show an OpenSSH version.

	*cough*  Or generic pilot error?  Just make sure you double check 
your setup.

        Check bytes?  Smells like client/server incompatibility to me.
