Protocol error: uncounted data discarded

[Villalovos, John L]

I had the following error occur when checking out via the pserver method.

Protocol error: uncounted data discarded

This was when I did a checkout on a tag that did not exist:

# cvs co -r bad_tag_name_that_does_not_exist my_component
Protocol error: uncounted data discarded


I discovered the reason for this was because I have an CVSROOT/rcsinfo file
with a template specified.

If I comment out the CVSROOT/rcsinfo file entry then I get the correct error
of:

# cvs co -r bad_tag_name_that_does_not_exist my_component
cvs [server aborted]: no such tag bad_tag_name_that_does_not_exist
my_component

Anyone know why this happens?

Thanks,
John
