REPRO: have a few GB of loose files around, that are NOT marked boring. darcs whatsnew -s --look-for-adds in version 2.3.1 and earlier, darcs reports correctly the filenames. 2.4.4 runs out of memory. Workaround is to add the extensions to boring. This confuses TortoiseDarcs, which relies on whatsnew working always, without error. Now its a silent failure, resulting changes reported as not modified.

You're right, I marked it as a dupe.
