   In the previous mail I forgot to add that I also tested
   rcs, version 5.8.1, on Ubuntu Linux, with the same ,v file, and
   obtained the same result. Therefore, it probably is a bug.

Yes, confirmed.  Thanks for reporting it.  Thanks also to Paul Eggert
for noting the nature (regression).  Here's a patch:

Does this fix work for you?
