FW: [darcs-users] Problem with a mailed patch

[BARBOUR Timothy]

Sorry, I think I confused this thread with a bug I reported very recently.
darcs is giving me the same error message, and my projects do not involve
MS-Windows. However, judging by the title, this thread is about someone
elses project.

The repository was converted, using the script, so I cannot see how
line-endings should be wrong.
