OK, if you want to give a try to my test case: $ [install darcs] $ darcs get http://alioth.debian.org/~gismo/darcs-pull-bug/parenscript.upstream/ $ darcs get http://alioth.debian.org/~gismo/darcs-pull-bug/parenscript/ $ cd parenscript $ darcs pull ../parenscript.upstream/ [choose to apply only the first patch] At that point, darcs takes 100% of the CPU and temperature starts to rise :-( FWIW, the same process on a PIII-500 is running for more than 5819 *hours* and it haven't finished nor spotted an error, yet. > Of course, I also use mainline kernels and not Debian kernels.

This was exactly my idea: I already know that at least another X60 Debian Developer will be at DebConf8, this is another reason I waited.
