The patch certainly fixes the abnormal termination of the script, but now
I'm getting:

co:
/s/uranus/projects/CVSRoot/BattleStorm/data/images/Software/BattleStorm_InstallShield_Exterior.bmp,v:11:
missing ';' after 'author'
co aborted

which doesn't make me feel good. These errors occur on all RCS *,v files
that have a space in between two text tokens before the ';' character in
the author field.

I think it is still not doing something correctly. Notice that this error comes
from the RCS co command. I'm running this on both RedHat 8.0 and RedHat 9.0
with the same results.

Ideas?

Thanks!
