[darcs-users] New long comments behavior under w2k doesn't work with my editor

I reciently upgraded from 1.0.5rc1 to 1.0.8.
Today when I went to review my changes I noticed that all my recient
long comments were missing.
After some investigation I've found that darcs is now doing something
different that isn't compatible with my editor.
I use ultraedit as my primary editor on windows.
Under darcs 1.0.5rc1 if my ultraedit is alrady open and I do a darcs
record with a long comment I would get a new duplicate copy of ultraedit
with the long comment file open. Add my text and exit and darcs saves.
Under 1.0.8 I do not get a duplicate copy of ultraedit but rather it
opens up in my existing editor process as a new file. But the moment
the file opens darcs shows "Finished recording patch 'foo'" and I get an
empty long comment.
If I am not currently running a copy of uedit then 1.0.8 works like
1.0.5rc1 where it waits until I exit the editor and my long comments are
saved.
I've also tried with context http://www.context.cx/ and both 1.0.5rc1
and 1.0.8 fail to work. Same problem. darcs records before the file is
saved.
