I see. I can't remember seeing a bug-report on the clisp sourceforge bug tracker, nor in the mailing lists.
Actually, there's currently a general problem with long-long as ffi:s/uint64: it's completely incompatible. I realized this yesterday only (also Pascal Bourguignon gave some hints one year ago, which I did not understand).

Yes. Excuse me, I didn't look closely enough to see that you use two plist items with this patch. Actually, I wouldn't bother freeing them when they can occur at top-level only.

BTW, does somebody know how to have darcs tell me what changes occurred between my repository and the main one?

darcs changes gives output upto the initial revision. I just want to see a summary of changes.
darcs send -o file contains this plus all the diffs. I don't want to see the diffs.
Is darcs pull --dry-run the answer?
