Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had come across a particular error I keep
getting with the 'nix-store' command.

When doing an install from a nix-channel of a VERY large derivation
(1.2G) I get a mysterious error in nix-prefetch-url.  It turned out to
be an error in nix-store that is reproducible with:

---
nix-store --add-fixed sha256 /tmp/nix-prefetch-url-12870-0/1ga2yrk20l01xrgib06aqk5qxijjgmz32q8pxiw6653vax8cbqkq.nar.bz2
error: basic_string::append
---

Has anyone seen this before?

many thanks,

James
