simple bug

[Lars Sodergren]

I have found a bug in version 2.0.1 on Solaris-8 that cause the protocol
between cfagent and cfservd to fail. Any copy of a file with a single line
containing a single D hangs the connection, it should be easy to verify.

I found this when we started using CVS (Concurrent Versions System)
and CVS created files with a single D in empty directorys.


Output from "cfagent -v":

> Checking copy from bangui.md.chalmers.se:/var/cfengine/conf/inputs.server to 
> /var/cfengine/inputs
> nairobi.md.chalmers.se: Update of image /var/cfengine/inputs/testfil from 
> master /var/cfengine/conf/inputs.server/testfil on bangui.md.chalmers.se

> nairobi.md.chalmers.se: Update of image /var/cfengine/bin/cfexecd from master 
> /var/cfengine/conf/bin/cfexecd on bangui.md.chalmers.se


The file testfil:

> bangui(165)# od -c testfil 
> 0000000   D  \n
> 0000002

The file testfil gets the connection out of sync causing the copy of cfagent to
fail and then the copy of cfexecd hangs.
