Package: rcs
Version: 5.7-13
Severity: normal

I store my mail/news archives on VFAT partition to be available for both 
Debian and Win95. I also like to modify some of them (like personal phone
directory) with ci/co. Today I decided to check logs and found a problem:

If I create library file in /dos/h/RCS/ by root the assigned name 
is "phones.txt,v" . The same operation by normal user (member of group of 
direcory owner - econfig) cause fault of "phones.txt,v" name but store as 
",phones.txt,":

> RCS/phones.txt,v  <--  phones.txt
> enter description, terminated with single '.' or end of file:
> NOTE: This is NOT the log message!
> >> initial revision: 1.1
> ci: RCS/phones.txt,v: Operation not permitted
> ci: saved in RCS/,phones.txt,

I should mentioned that it was no "phones.txt,v" file at this moment !

The co -l does not work with new name format - "RCS/,phones.txt,":

> co: RCS/phones.txt,v: No such file or directory

The directory permissions (after ci -u by local user) are:

/dos/h
drwxrwxrwx   21 root     econfig      4096 Dec 24 20:47 .
drwxrwxrwx   31 root     econfig     18432 Dec 15 20:09 ..
drwxrwxrwx    2 root     econfig      4096 Dec 24 20:45 RCS
-r--r--r--    1 root     econfig     27903 Dec 24 20:36 phones.txt

/dos/h/RCS
-rw-rw-rw-    1 root     econfig     28152 Dec 24 20:45 ,phones.txt,
drwxrwxrwx    2 root     econfig      4096 Dec 24 20:45 .
drwxrwxrwx   21 root     econfig      4096 Dec 24 20:53 ..

I always did the operation by root before and it was no RCS subdirectory.
Today I tried to do everything by local user and the ci/co programs 
produce a lot of messages and seems does not operate at all.
