New description:

 I was trying to push a Darcs patch when it failed with a GHC error. This
 is the text of the error message on the console:

 {{{
 darcs: internal error: evacuate: strange closure type 536064
     (GHC version 7.6.2 for x86_64_unknown_linux)
     Please report this as a GHC bug:
 http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
 Aborted (core dumped)
 }}}

 Not sure if this is exactly what is required when reporting a bug, I am
 very new to this and am unsure of the procedures involved regarding GHC
 bug reporting.

 Thanks in advance.
