Yes, I've seen the cropped file problem on both NT4 and 2000 machines.
Happened on a particular set of machines and was resolved as you said, by
recreating the views. But we could start the views on other machines and not
see the problem. The only thing we could point a finger at was that the VOB
server went down during a build, but we never did find out for sure. The
problem has not reappeared.
I've seen the enlarged file once also. No @ signs, but the contents of the
file were replicated many times in CodeWright. The developer could not tell
me what he was doing when it happened. The only thing out of the ordinary
was low disk space on the C drive. The problem has not reappeared.

Subject: [cciug] Dynamic View files corrupted ??
Hi,
In the past two weeks several developers are having problems with what
seems like corrupted dynamic views.
An unchecked out file in their dynamic view will either be "cropped"
(data missing at end of it) or several times larger than it should be
with a bunch of "@" signs appended to the end. They can solve the
problem ~ temporarily ~ by doing either:
Rebooting their desktop client.
Creating a new view
Or checking out the 'problem' file and it gets reassembled properly.
However as soon as it is unchecked out they get the same corrupted file
again.
At first i thought it was a one time problem but several people on
different views on different machines are starting to complain about it.
They are using mostly emacs editors but have seen the problem opening
the file in notepad as well.
Has anyone seen anything like this ??
We are using Windows 2000 workstations consistently across the board for
both clearcase servers and clients.
Dynamic view storages are on the local desktops. Version ClearCase 4.1
Path (14).
