I think I've fixed it (Yay!):

http://wiki.darcs.net/Benchmarks/Quasar/Beta

I pushed two patches to c.h.o, one of which fixes the problem (the other 
is a style/testing issue-- but it fixes one of the issues Zooko also 
noticed, allowing ``darcs-benchmark report > test.rst ; rst2html 
test.rst test.html``). The matter at hand in the borked reporting was 
indeed thanks to a very stupid oversight on my part in my earlier testing...

Eric: could you try posting an updated version of darcs-benchmark to 
cabal? (Thanks in advance!)

Once Zooko updates to a version with the fix he should be able to just 
run ``darcs-benchmark report`` and get a working version of the report.

Aside: ``darcs-benchmark report`` will need better ways of choosing 
which reports to report, and it will need it rather soon. (Currently it 
just dumps *all* reports under ~/.darcs-benchmark/*/, which will get 
huge and unwieldy after only a handful of reports.) I may look into 
writing some of that when I've had more sleep.
