New submission from Simon Peyton-Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Sigh. Two new darcs bugs. Darcs has just gone into an infinite loop, when doing a 'pull' of a few dozen patches from GHC's HEAD repository into a partial repository on my laptop. (Well, after 15 mins of 100% CPU I killed it.) I have the repository if that helps. OK so then I tried a darcs get (*not* --partial, since that seems to give rise to crashes and other strangeness) for the full repository sh-2.04$ darcs get http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc --repo-name HEAD -- Wait 1.5 hrs for darcs to download 15,000 patches Then:....

I don't think upgrading will help. I saw similar problems on my Windows machine when using darcs built from the darcs repository for darcs. (as of Dec. 20 2006 or thereabouts.) In particular, the first problem always happens when there are conflicts, doesn't it? At least, I know I've seen it before and the "solution" was to manually binary-search for the conflicting patch and avoid pulling it.
