 I have three systems:

   * System:  FreeBSD sanction.local 9.0-RELEASE-p3
     * unison version 2.40.63

   * System: Linux kothas 3.2.0-27-generic - Ubuntu 12.04
     * unison version 2.40.65

   * System: Darwin palanthas.local 12.0.0 - Mountain Lion 10.8
     * unison version 2.40.65 - built against OCaml 4.0.0

 I made a file (with dd) in a directory then, downloaded it to palanthas
 via scp manually.

 It should say:
 {{{
 Looking for changes
   Waiting for changes from server
 Reconciling changes
 Nothing to do: replicas have not changed since last sync.
 }}}

 But instead I got this error:

 {{{
 Fatal error: Internal error: New archives are not identical.
 Retaining original archives.  Please run Unison again to bring them up to
 date
 }}}

 Rerunning unison again doesn't fix the problem

 Transfers between any of the systems seem to work except when palanthas is
 either receiving data or sending it over ssh. palanthas is able to do
 synchronizations on its own filesystem not over ssh with the expected
 result ie:

 {{{
 dcecchin at palanthas:~$ unison -ui text ~/palanthas_to_palanthas_using-
 macports_version.a palanthas_to_palanthas_using-macports_version.b
 }}}
