Has anyone had issues with parsing CVS-committed gettext .mo files?

Question

I have this issue where my mo parser code fails if I check out a .mo file from CVS ( CVS server is running on an old, old CENTOS box ) - I think CVS somehow corrupts it. If I use poedit and open the corresponding po file, and resave the mo over itself all is well.

Answer 1

I have no idea what an .mo file is but the following might help since it's a common source of CVS file corruptions.

Do you have CVS treating it as a text file with keyword expansion and do you have some kind of text within this .mo file that resembles a cvs keyword? ($author$ etc) CVS keywords here: http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.6/cvs_12.html
