[darcs-devel] [issue1017] whatsnew stack overflow

[Jason Dagit]

New submission from Jason Dagit <dagit at codersbase.com>:

This was reported in IRC and I don't have a test case, but creating one should
be simple:

00:33 <bringert> darcs 2.0.2 overflows the stack when running 'darcs what' in a 
                 repo where a small file has been replaced by a 3M text file 
                 containing no newlines
00:34 <twb> bringert: did you build with GHC 6.8.3 or .2?
00:34 <bringert> 6.8.2
00:34 <twb> There are known issues with 6.8.2
00:36 ~~~ bringert upgrades ghc
<snip>
02:47 <bringert> darcs 2.0.2 compiled with GHC 6.8.3 has the same stack 
                 overflow problem

My hunch is that is most likely lies in smart_diff or maybe some code that
creates a patch to display the results of whatsnew.
