I'm guessing this is related to
        http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/faq.html#atticprob
and is caused by corruption in the SourceForge CVS repository that  
had some files in both a CVS directory and in the Attic. I don't know  
how this corruption occurred, but the safest route (from the  
perspective of preserving history) is to keep both copies of the  
files. That may be what happened here.

I wonder what other files are affected... I'll be happy to clean this  
up if we can figure out how to identify these files.
