The above RCS package has the dreaded truncation after 1024 bytes bug:

Please fix ASAP!
I have been using my own build without any problems for over a year.
I just switched to yours and tickled the bug almost immediately.
Shame on me for not being more cautious. Sigh...
Thankfully, when I checked in five files, even though four got whacked,
the hardest to recreate didn't!
This experience reminds me of the old adage:
There are only two types of users. Those who have lost data and
those who will.
