Yes. Other mirror sites are updated from the anoncvs primary, and could
include the single-bit errors we've been seeing.

The Admins have been working to resolve the issue - as rarely occurring
as it has been, it's hard to tell whether it's fixed or not. I expect
they'll state something when they're certain enough.

Meanwhile, errors have been corrected, and the mirror sites should have
updated since, with the corrected data.
