SID-00271: Recently some webs do not allow edits or attachments

Hi,

I'm the administrator of a TWiki for a student project team at Cornell University. We've been using TWiki for several years now on a shared server with a web hosting company called Surpass Hosting.

Recently, we've started having two separate problems, despite not having made any modifications to our TWiki installation in quite some time.

Our first problem is that some pages in our Main web have begun giving errors whenever we try to either edit their content or attach files. As far as I've noticed it, the problem is restricted to certain pages only in the Main web which have historically had no problems.

The error given in the browser when attempting to edit one of these affected webs is:

---

During save of DesignReview4Spring2009 an error was found by the version control system. Please notify your TWiki administrator. =RCS: /usr/bin/rcs -l %FILENAME|F% failed: = Go back in your browser and save your changes locally.

---

There are no corresponding entries in the warning or error logs. I should note that it seems that the page edit seems to be committed after returning back to the page, so if it weren't for this error, it would seem that all is normal.

When attaching a file, the error given in the browser is identical to the one shown for editing a page.

My second problem is that recently, a page using ImagePlugin fails to load at all, instead giving the following error in the browser:

TWiki detected an internal error - please check your TWiki logs and webserver logs for more information.

My warning log has a bunch of entries similar to this:

I contacted my web hosting company inquiring as to whether they had removed ImageMagick and they stated that it is still present on my server.

I hope I've provided enough information - if I'm missing something let me know and I'll go figure it out! If anyone has any suggestions to clear up these problems it would be greatly appreciated
