It's impossible to get the ghc source with darcs on windows

Annoyingly darcs crashes every time I try to get the ghc sources. This is a problem with both darcs 1.0.8 and 1.0.9

$ darcs get --partial http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc
This is the GHC darcs repository (HEAD branch)

Please report this to bugs@darcs.net,
If possible include the output of 'darcs --exact-version'.

Perhaps creating a new snapshot point could fix it?
