[darcs-users] "darcs get" crashes (usually)

[Martin Schaffner]

I have a darcs repo which I can't "get", neither on Windows nor on Mac OS 
X. On the mac, darcs usually does a "Bus error", sometimes a "Segmentation 
fault", and rarely it succeeds. The error happens while writing the dots 
after "Copying patches...", not always at the same place. It is in 
relation to garbage collection, as can be seen from this gdb session on 
Mac OS X:

(gdb) r get /Volumes/bla/cpp/repo/
Starting program: /private/tmp/darcs get /Volumes/bla/cpp/repo/
Reading symbols for shared libraries +... done

On another topic, attached is a patch for the homepage. Please recreate 
index.html after applying it, this will also copy the link for "ghc" from 
index.html.in.

Thanks,
Martin
