Error message: File "in use" (,file)

[Carlos Alberto Leme Galassi]

Hi,

We are using an RCS repository to control file source, bin and ascii.

Sometimes when we are tagging a file, for example, and we got an error
message informing that the file are "in use"
and in the repository appear a file, with the same name with "," (comma)
before the file (semaphore file).
If we do it again, maybe a message of "Segmentation Fault" appear. Then, we
discard the file ,xxx remove a
file from RCS and start it again, loosing informations and old versions. (Or
recover informations, reconstruct a new
file and put it back in repository).

I saw in RCS Documentation that it is a bug, but: Can we bypass it ? How ?

Any information will be very apreciated.

Thank you.
