(for the darcs-users folks, the repo to > apply to is http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/unix). Could be that the bundle got messed up by the mail system? Although thinking of that now, I guess that'd cause a hash mismatch first...
One way around would be to tag the repository, so the mis-encoded patch info does not creep into bundles or otherwise. Another would be to use pull instead of send. Ok, so I have checked myself, and the bundle hash is only checked *after* the context is examined, so I suppose it's just a corrupt bundle (and could indeed come from the mail system, as its mime is text/plain). So, I have manually rewritten the 3 offending chars: Bj?rn -> Björn Sj?rgen -> Sjörgen Norb?ck -> Norbäck and afterwards, doing cat ~/tmp/sharedmem.patch | iconv -f utf-8 -t iso-8859-1 | darcs apply worked. That confirms the encoding problem, and I'm quite sure the hash is checked before actually applying the patch, so I didn't introduce any new corruption. Anyhow, Don, could you please send the original bundle file gzipped to me, so I can check if it was darcs that corrupted it, or something en-route?
