strange file state for a file in Attic

[Arcin Bozkurt]

The latest version of this files as seen is 1.3 and the state is not 
dead. I believe every file in Attic should have the state "dead". If the 
state is not dead, it should be in the repository not in the Attic 
directory.

I am trying to understand what could have caused this behaviour and what 
would be the best way to correct this....

I realized this when I did an update with -D "date". This file is not 
retrieved during an update of the "HEAD" (i believe this gives 
everything in the repository without checking anything) But it is 
retreived with the -D "date" command. (because i believe cvs goes thru 
ALL (rep+attic) to figure which files were alive at "DATE" and updates 
this file.

"DATE" given in cvs update -D "DATE" is later than 2001.10.18.

The server is accessed thru :pserver method. The server is running cvs 
1.11 on SunOS 5.7
arcin uses Linux : 1.11.1p1
adrian uses WinCVS  on NT. (1.2)



The file follows:
--------
head    1.3;
access;

       draft_release:1.1.1.1 Lumic:1.1.1;
