I downloaded and unpacked http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-STABLE-2007-09-11-ghc-corelibs-testsuite.tar.bz2.
After the darcs pull (Pulling from "http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-6.8/ghc"... This is the GHC darcs
repository (ghc-6.8 branch)):
> thorkil-naurs-intel-mac-mini:~/tn/test/darcs/Issue/1022/work/unpack/ghc thorkilnaur$ darcs whatsnew
> No changes!
I tried to pull the GHC HEAD into this STABLE repository, both from http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc and from a
local repository. In both cases, I interrupted the pull after it's having spent 100% CPU for more than an
hour without apparent progress.
So this seems to be a dead end.
Right from the start, however, I had recognized the name of the file concerned (lambda-logo.png) and it
turned out that I had run into a similar problem a while back, attempting to build the GHC HEAD on this
FreeBSD machine:
> tn at tn21$ uname -a
> FreeBSD tn21.thorkilnaur.dk 5.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE #0: Sun May 8 10:21:06 UTC 2005
root at harlow.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386
Getting back to this (so far incomplete) attempt, I found:

which is a bit like the problem reported by Simon PJ. I also found these patches, related to the concerned
file:

I am unfortunately not 100% sure, but this repository was most likely created by starting with an archive
ghc-HEAD-2007-12-16-ghc.tar.bz2 and pulling the GHC HEAD (as of 2008-May-03) into it.
I have tried to pull the present GHC HEAD into the repository created from this archive, but darcs whatsnew
reports 'No changes'.
So: I have an existing repository with a problem similar to the one that Simon PJ had, but I have not been
able to find a way to create such a repository.
Best regards
Thorkil
