I'm working in a branch 'B403', trying to remove files with the -kb flag
set.  If I try to 'cvs remove -f file*; cvs commit -m ""', the commit
hangs.  Here is some sample interaction showing the problem.  Notice the
mysterious 'B4 3' for the register command (file1 is marked as binary,
file2 is not).  I am running 1.11.1.3 rc2 (Build 55), though the error was
also present for Build 45.

Can anyone confirm this is a bug?  Is there a workaround?

Thanks,

Todd
