Yes. I think we got that by now. But most Mercurial developers don't
know much about the TortoiseHg GUI and if they ask you to try something
on the command line, then please do so. Using the command line hg
command makes sure that the smallest possible amount of software is
used, which helps to nail down problems.

As you demonstrate below, the traceback can be produced with the hg
command line command alone.

(note: I assume this is still with Mercurial-1.7.2 on Windows XP 32-bit
with 1.5 Gb of RAM, as mutface noted in their initial post).

mutface: perhaps you can tell us a bit more about your drive s:?

Is s: a local drive? If yes, what file system is it using? NTFS? On what
hardware is that? Harddisk? Have you installed any special device drivers?

Or is s: a Windows share? If yes, what software is s: serving? Windows
or Samba? What versions exactly?

Are you using any on-access antivirus scanners? If yes what's the
product name?
