Pardon this belated reply.  Do you think you could examine the " *darcs record*"
buffer and report back here?

I have a half-finished private version which tries to code around some IMHO
problematic scenarios.  Basically, the problem boils down to this: if Darcs
responds with something unexpected, darcsum will appear to hang.  There are
probably many little things which can go wrong.  At the very least, I think
darcsum should display any unexpected output so that you don't just sit there
waiting for it to finish when it never will.
