That sounds like the same bug which Karl Tomlinson's patch fixes:

http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-cvs@gnu.org/msg00554.html

I am working on some test cases for that patch for the CVS test script
sanity.sh.

I would like to know if your bug is the same bug that Karl fixed.  So
please send me the files which you tried to merge and I will then test
them on Karl's patch and I might want to include them in sanity.sh.

Please run these commands replacing "file" with the filename of the file
which wrongly had conflicts:

cvs -n up -p -r1.81 file > OLDER
cvs -n up -p -r1.81.2.17 file > YOURS

If your files contain proprietary or private information, then you
could try using a UNIX sed command to change it so it no longer has
private info:

sed 's/[a-z]/x/g' < OLDER > OLDER_changed
sed 's/[a-z]/x/g' < YOURS > YOURS_changed

So if the two private files are OLDER and YOURS, then you should be
able to send me the non-private files OLDER_changed and
YOURS_changed.

Thanks.
