Oh dear!

Perhaps tar-bzip2 your ~/.darcs-benchmark directory and send it
our way.  It could provide some clues, although I'm a bit doubtful

Which repository is this?

That's funny. It should only do this when you either somehow tell
darcs-benchmark not to run any benchmarks, or if you use the --converge
flag.  Without any flags passed to darcs-benchmark, it should by rights
run a standard set of benchmarks :-(

Any other hints? Command line options you may be using?

For what it's worth, I don't think that the binaries are different
enough to be worth repeating the benchmarking

Could you try running darcs-benchmark on the tabular repo (it's a tiny
repo which is mostly meant for checking darcs-benchark itself).

You may have to run darcs-benchmark get to actually fetch the tarball.

Sorry for the trouble, and thanks for the help!
