I am getting the error "Fail: pull_firsts_middles called badly"  when recording. I invoke darcs as 
"darcs record --ask-deps", select two out of about thirty hunks, and press 'd'. I select the first 
patch offered as an extra dependency and press 'd' again. Darcs asks for a name and a comment 
and then fails. This is true for 1.0.3 and for the current unstable branch. 
 
I tried building a darcs from sources as of April 12th (unpulling the last interesting-looking 
patch to PatchChoices.lhs and all patches following it). This version is able to record the patch 
successfully. 
 
I can attach a copy of the repo I was working against and a transcript of the failure, but it's 
largish, so let me know if it's wanted.
