Hello,

I'm seeing this bug from past versions till now, so I decided to report it. Here
is the way how to trigger the bug:

<cut>
$ darcs --version
1.0.7 (release)
$ mkdir bug_test
$ cd bug_test
$ darcs init
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=./big_file bs=1M count=2048
2048+0 records in
2048+0 records out
$ darcs wh -ls
darcs: out of memory (requested 2148532224 bytes)
$ cat /proc/meminfo | grep "Mem\|Swap"
MemTotal:      2074524 kB
MemFree:        869652 kB
SwapCached:          0 kB
SwapTotal:           0 kB
SwapFree:            0 kB
</cut>

I would expect this output:

$ darcs wh -ls
a ./big_file

Instead of this one:

darcs: out of memory (requested 2148532224 bytes) 

If you need more information, let me know.

Kind regards,
Juraj Hercek

Thanks for reporting this, doing so helps remind us what people feel is
important as well as reminding us that some issues are still around.

This is a duplicate of issue 79 which can be fixed with the following patch:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.darcs.devel/3866/match=whatsnew

Unfortuntately that patch no longer applies cleanly and another one needs to be
created.
