Alas, after I complained, the administrators fixed the problem (by adding
the web site to an exceptions list, the idiots, but you can't have
everything), so alas I can't reproduce the problem anymore!
However, come to think of it, I can reproduce it simply by trashing one of
the patches in place and running `darcs repair`. Let's see...
Sorry, I'm going to need some advice: I can't figure out how to get your
latest version. Running `darcs pull` tells me that I'm up to date, which
I suspect is because I'm on http://darcs.net/repos/stable ...
unfortunately a fairly quick search gives me no clue as to where the
current bleeding edge version of darcs is! Sorry for being obtuse here.
I'll have a go some time tomorrow if you can point me in the right
direction.

P.S. The page http://www.darcs.net/manual/node3.html still refers me to
http://abridgegame.org/repos/darcs which is dormant; I think ertai
(message 2538) said they'd made a patch to fix this?
