There are a couple ways you can set the -kb flags (to indicate the file is 
binary).  The easiest are:
1) Use a front end that will figure it out for you, like TortoiseCVS 
(http://www.tortoisecvs.org/) or WinCVS (http://www.wincvs.org/).

2) Use the cvswrappers file.  Check out your CVSROOT and you'll fund a file 
called "cvswrappers".  I've attached a fairly comprehensive cvswrappers 
file that you can use--BUT know that the downside is that cvs will assume 
that all files with matching extensions are binary.

** Note:  I don't recall if this list allows attachments or not--I suspect 
it doesn't.  Just email me directly if you need this.

Read more about the cvswrappers and how to work with that in the online docs.

Either should work.  I used the delete option when that happened to me 
because I don't like having known broken binaries in my repository.

# This file affects handling of files based on their names.
#
# The -t/-f options allow one to treat directories of files

# its way in and out of CVS.
#
# The -m option specifies whether CVS attempts to merge files.
#
# The -k option specifies keyword expansion (e.g. -kb for binary).
#
# Format of wrapper file ($CVSROOT/CVSROOT/cvswrappers or .cvswrappers)
#
#  wildcard	[option value][option value]...
#
#  where option is one of
#  -f		from cvs filter		value: path to filter
#  -t		to cvs filter		value: path to filter
#  -m		update methodology	value: MERGE or COPY
#  -k		expansion mode		value: b, o, kkv, &c
