But alas, we don't yet know how to produce it regularly on anyone else's
box.  :(

I'm not sure how you'd debug it.  Perhaps using strace? This is a bit of
the code I'm not very familiar with, so I'm not likely to be of much use
here.  I'm ccing our bug tracker, so Eric will be in contact.  Apparently
the bug is also reproducible on Intel macs, for whatever reason.

And I presume that in this case darcs freezes? I'm not sure how we'd
determine whether a connection is already made, and suspect that the only
correct behavior when --ssh-cm is specified is to try to start one
ourselves.

P.S. If you keep the subject fixed, it'll help keep our bug tracker
happy...
