Maybe this is known already, but darcs can take hours to do a pull, while using 95% of the CPU all the while.  Maybe an infinite loop?

bash$ ps xu

I attach the complete output.  This was a pull into a very old local repo from a remote repo that has changed a lot.  So I can work around by deleting the local repo and re-getting.  But I thought you should know.

This indeed sounds like a known issue.  Moving you there, thanks.
