Thanks for your rapid response, Eric.

I tried darcs 1.0.9 (after patching it to work with ghc 6.8.2 using instructions I found online). It succeeded (at least, it printed "Done optimizing!" without printing an error), but darcs 2.0.2 still gives the same error when I run any command.

If you could put these online, it would be great! (as an example to us
for the kinds of repositories we should try to keep in mind)

Since "darcs get" fails on this repo, I put a tarball of the repository at

        http://jdj.mit.edu/~stevenj/meep-bad.tar.gz

(David Roundy might recognize it -- this is descended from a project [http://ab-initio.mit.edu/meep] that he started when he was in our group at MIT, and he's the reason it uses darcs of course.)

Thanks!

Steven
