xkbcomp was not aware of binary or text files. I've changed it and xkbcomp
now produces files with same length for binary and text mounts. Attached is 
a patch for this. It also patches the Xserver to open the files in binmode.

A test binary is available:
http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/xfree/xkbcomp.exe.bz2
replace the one in /usr/X11R6/bin und /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb or 
/etc/X11/xkb

If it still fails, please test the patched XWin.exe too
