New description:

 darcs 1.0.8 uses a lot of memory. On windows the command below
 (official compiled darcs, I'm not sure about ghc version) works
 on one Machine (Windows Server 2003) and aborts on Windows XP
 with the message below:

 {{{
 darcs +RTS -M1750M -RTS optimize --reorder-patches

 darcs.exe: getMBlocks: VirtualAlloc failed with: 8

 darcs.exe: internal error: getMBlocks: misaligned block returned

    Please report this as a bug to glasgow-haskell-bugs at haskell.org,

    or http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/ghc/

 Version: (Windows XP)
