Package: softbeep
Version: 0.3-10
Severity: normal

If I run "darcs record" from a shell run from softbeep, the compressed
patch it creates is corrupted.  Maybe this is due to a bad interaction
between softbeep and zlib1g (and darcs?)?

To reproduce, you'll need to install the darcs package and then
execute command sequence [2] below.  Note that [1] works OK and [3],
which tells darcs not to compress the patch also works OK.

[1]
# make sure you're not running inside softbeep
mkdir darcstest
cd darcstest
date > file1.txt
darcs init
darcs add file1.txt
echo [EMAIL PROTECTED] > _darcs/prefs/author
darcs record -a -m test --skip-long-comment
zless _darcs/patches/*.gz

[2]
softbeep bash
mkdir darcstest
cd darcstest
date > file1.txt
darcs init
darcs add file1.txt
echo [EMAIL PROTECTED] > _darcs/prefs/author
darcs record -a -m test --skip-long-comment
zless _darcs/patches/*.gz

[3]
softbeep bash
mkdir darcstest
cd darcstest
date > file1.txt
darcs init
darcs add file1.txt
echo [EMAIL PROTECTED] > _darcs/prefs/author
darcs record -a -m test --skip-long-comment --dont-compress
less _darcs/patches/*.gz    # darcs names uncompressed patches .gz too
