I'm not sure, but I think it could be the temporary file created by
darcs during it's operations, as after we finished working with darcs
(it didn't have problems with executing commands, it did also print
the list of commands when run without a parameter) I noticed some of
these files in my repository's main directory. I don't know how it can
be related, but for me it feels a bit like if it was somehow connected
with darcs trying to run the "less" command, as I do have some
linux/GNU tools installed and in PATH, and my friend does not, and
when I run darcs -h it does look like it went through "less".

But as for the rest, yes, you're right, I can't reproduce this
unfortunately. Hope any of what I wrote here helps a bit.
Good luck!
