This looks like some configuration issue in your HTTP server - the
returned file is most definitly not a Mercurial index file:

$ curl -s http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~balay/foo/.hg/data/bar.map.i
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
<html><head>
<title>Menu for /~balay/foo/.hg/data/bar.map.i</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Menu for /~balay/foo/.hg/data/bar.map.i</h1>
<hr>

</body>
</html>

> asterix:/home/balay/tmp>hg clone --traceback old-http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~balay/foo bar

17487 is the "DO" in the first line of the file above.
