With 2.4.3 release, this command: darcs get --partial http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-6.12/ghc/ build runs out of memory with a 400M limit (i.e. ulimit -v 400000). (nb, it actually gets all the patches, as it's converting to hashed).

Does just plain old get behave any better (ie. is this about partial)? And what about darcs get --partial --old-fashioned?

I think we somebody that's not Ian (busy) to reproduce this and answer the questions below.
