The same thing happens with the 1.0.4 I built.  It's not just big repos, 
though.  It seems to be caused by any command that needs to do something 
with the compression.  Record succeeds if --dont-compress is set, and 
fails after asking for the long comment otherwise.  This happens to me 
on any repo.  I think I'm using the cygwin version of zlib, version 1.2.3.
