David and crew,

I realize that this is deliberate :-) but it's problematic: when I pull 
in my current darcs directory, here's what I get:

And then any patches that are forthcoming.

Oddly, darcs still seems to work OK, so far, even with the allocation 
failures. But they make me nervous. And 524,288,000 is an insane amount 
of even virtual space to try to allocate in one go, IMHO.

Thoughts?

Many thanks and best regards,
Paul
