Yes, this is a known problem with the coLinux tree; they have some
mildly corrupted revisions created with a pre-0.19 monotone (when it
was possible to create such revisions).  They're aware of the problem;
I'm not sure what their current workaround is.  The problem currently
only prevents doing an initial netsync, so somehow you have to get a
"preloaded" db...

We need to rebuild that history at some point in the nearish future
to get rid of such things, but exactly when and how isn't figured out
yet.  _Everyone_ will have to rebuild in the nearish future when we
implement some planned changes to the revision/manifest format, so
that might be a good time for it...
