On a positive note, I happen to have (via cvsup which hasn't run in a while)
a copy of that file that hasn't been corrupted.  I can use it to recreate
the goof'd stuff.

How did you do this?  I don't mind grubbing through it, but without some
clue what to look for it might be tough given the size of the ChangeLog,v

There's been bugs in CVS before which would exhibit similar behavior, but
I thought they were fixed long ago.
