Alas, this is a most puzzling bug. As you might imagine, I've been unable
to reproduce this.
Just to rule out some possibilities:
* Can you confirm that you actually untarred this on both machines, and ran
in that clean repo? (I'm wondering if timestamps or something
filesystem-specific might be playing a role here.)
* What happens if you add "apply --ignore-times" to the central repo where
this can be reproduced?
* Could you double-check (I looked in the tarball, but am trying to cover
bases here, since I'm confused) that the contents of _darcs/patches/pending
is either "{\n}\n" or empty?
* What sort of system is the system showing these symptoms? I'm thinking OS
and particularly whether it's running a 64 bit processor. I don't see how
these would be relevant, but am grasping at straws here. Also, does the
other system--which doesn't display the bug--differ in any of these
regards? What ghc was used to compile darcs?
