Could you try using the --darcs-2 format?

It's distinctly possible (in fact, downright likely) that what you're
seeing is an out-of-memory error.  It's a horrible error message for an
out-of-memory error, but given what you describe this bug shouldn't happen
(even with darcs-1).  Anyhow, without seeing the repositories, or the
patches involved in the commutation, this is all I can guess.

That would be great, if you could give us a couple of URLs to get from.
