- From what I can tell so far, it looks like this bug also occurs in the
latest stable release (1.11.22).

It looks like the problem has to do with RCS keyword expansion, when
using client-server protocol (pserver, ssh both exhibit the problem,
local doesn't). I haven't checked into it fully yet, but it appears that
the server is performing the MD5 checksum on the un-expanded keywords,
but the client is performing it on the expanded keywords. IOW the server
is doing an MD5 on:

$Name$

but the client is doing it on

$Name: TAG_v1_0$

I'll update the bug report on Savannah with this additional information.
