Checkout Aborted Err Due to Unicode File

I'm getting the following checkout error message from CVS when attempting to check out an entire branch:

cvs [checkout aborted]: unrecognized operation '\xffffffef' in E:/cvsrepo/DataV/DTSand StoredProcedures/DV Daily Load.sql,v

The problem seems related to the fact that CVS wants to treat this file as a Unicode file even though it is just a text file. The kicker is that, since the checkout fails, I am unable to get CVS to recognize this as a text file.

Has anyone seen this before. Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Cheers, Ken
