I've definitely seen this issue, but I don't remember how it ended.
I seem to recall that it's due to Darcs opening a number of immutable
files using unsafePerformIO, and due to lazy evaluation, they don't
get closed until some later time.

I don't remember what the solution was.  In any case, Darcs should
leave your repository in a sane state (but run ``darcs check'' just in
case).

Sorry for not being more helpful,
