Having an attribute of -kb does not indicate that the file is binary, though
all binary files should have this attribute. It indicates that both keyword
expansion and EOL translation is inhibited. This means that if a text file with
the -kb attribute is edited in both *NIX and Windows (or even Mac), then a mix
of EOL types will end up being present. If you use the -kk attribute for text
files, only keyword expansion will be inhibited and the EOL translation will be
handled for you by cvs.
The cvswrappers file in CVSROOT governs default behavior based on
case-sensitive extensions. Note that it only controls the attribute for initial
adds to the repository, not subsequent checkouts or commits.
Hope this helps,
-Ben

The problem was solved by removing the file and typing it in again because it
is small. i made sure I did all the work on UNIX and not via eclipse on
windows or anything. Seems to work now -
Of course this does not really answer the question about what happened to it.
If anyone has any good advice :-) or info I'd still appreciate it.
