The default (which darcs is built with) is -rtsopts=some and in this
case the RTS makes use of $GHCRTS [0]. So we could ask GHC to ignore
unknown options from $GHCRTS if linked in this way, or link darcs with
-rtsopts={none,full}.

David, if you do have $GHCRTS set, please can we see the contents?

Cheers,
