I guess this was about this svn commit:
* Use hash function from OCaml 3.x for comparing archives, even when
compiled with OCaml 4.x
git-svn-id: https://webdav.seas.upenn.edu/svn/unison/trunk@514
4bce34ff-96ee-0310-b826-95abcfff6e26
This does not seem to be about marshalling, but is also a case of relying on
OCaml stdlib functionality that is not meant to be included in portable
protocols.
Sorry to say, but I'm not motivated to fix this design bug of unison.
(would take me about a days work).
