1. Summarise the issue (what were doing, what went wrong?)

A patch with the following comment hangs on 'darcs send' command.

Our configuration.

Configuration file repo/_darcs/prefs/post contains a path to remote cgi
http://remote-server/darcs-apply-test.cgi

darcs-apply-test.cgi on the remote-server for the test purposes contains only
#! /bin/bash
echo here >/tmp/here
echo Content-Type: text/plain
echo
cat >/tmp/foo

We first recorded and sent a patch with a different comment, and both /tmp/here and /tmp/foo 
contained expected information on remote-server. We then deleted both those files and recorded 
and sent a patch with the comment below. Command 'darcs send' hangs indefinitely and files do 
not appear on the remote host.

Please note that we had seen same behaviour with other comments, so it is not specific to 
particular one, used to reproduce the issue.

No long comment was used. Doesn't depend on contents of the patch, only on the comment.

Comment (possibly there is a shorter version, but we didn't spend time finding what particular 
part of this comment causes the issue):

New mongo-utils package with mongodb helper utilities. Not completely functional, but good 
enough for the first iteration and pcm-analysis work.

2. What behaviour were you expecting instead?

Patch being sent without hanging indefinitely long

3. What darcs version are you using? (Try: darcs --exact-version)
