This happens to me too, on large repositories. Things generally work for 
me if I specify +RTS -M1024M at the end of the command line.

I'm planning to address this issue in cygwin package of darcs by having the
cygwin bash wrapper append "+RTS -M9999M" after each command, or something like
that.

Ah.  When you set it too high you get an internal error in Haskell.  So I don't
know how to address this problem other than the obvious solution of fixing darcs
to stop using up unbounded amounts of memory.

Zooko,

Any improvements with this when using Darcs2 on Windows?

I'm setting another "reduce memory usage" bug as a superceder of this one.

Should we mark this as "duplicate" so that issue80 is the only one whose Status
matters?
