darcs format isn't going to help - a unified diff against the current
snapshot in Debian is going to be needed for this bug.

The changes look like a possible fix but the patch content is largely
useless for this bug as it cannot be applied tested, should the
upstream release and subsequent upload to Debian be delayed. I've tried
picking the changes out but there are other changes in the darcs output
which don't appear in the packaged code in Debian.

Please can the diff be exported in unified format?
