In `darcs add` - Darcs 2.5.2 - It seems there is a 2+GB limit on file size, which causes the index to get set with data that darcs can not processes later in revert/record. Assuming later versions are similarly affected after IRC conversation. Deleting _darcs/patches/pending and _darcs/index resolves the issue as far as I can tell.

This should be easy to fix with a slight change in the index format.

Must have been resolved at some point because I can't reproduce it (not that it matters much as darcs cannot handle such large files anyway, at least not in resonable time).
