>Description:
Today, I got the following "assertion failed" messages from cvs when I
typed "cvs up vmstat.c" in /usr/src/usr.bin/vmstat.

assertion "ptr >= rcsbuf_buffer && ptr < rcsbuf_buffer + rcsbuf_buffer_size" failed: file "/usr/src/gnu/dist/cvs/src/rcs.c", line 1097, function "rcsbuf_getkey"
cvs [update aborted]: received abort signal

Apparently, the assertion should be "ptr >= rcsbuf_buffer && ptr <=
rcsbuf_buffer + rcsbuf_buffer_size".

I've checked the master repository of the cvs project (cvshome) and
this problem was already fixed there in rev. 1.259 of rcs.c.

So, I request import of rev. 1.259 (at least) of rcs.c from the cvs
repository even before its next release.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
Code inspection.
	
>Fix:
Import the diffs (mainly between rev. 1.258 to rev. 1.259) from the
repository of cvs.  Refer to
http://ccvs.cvshome.org/source/browse/ccvs/src/rcs.c .
