Hello
I have a file under rcs control (about 50 checkins)
and vc-annotate worked fine, however today vc-annotate returned an error which
I
attach. I am puzzled,

If you ever figure out what was different about that revision, then
please reply to this and we can reopen this report if needed.
Or you can send me the whole RCS (so long as there are no privacy
concerns) and I will take a look. But without more information, there's
nothing we can do, so I am closing this for now.
