The git commit of <nixpkgs> (in /home/paul/.= nix-defexpr/channels/nixpkgs/.version-suffix) is now 497e6d2.
Also, if I remove '--strict' from the nix-instantiate command I= get:

<?xml version=3D'1.0' encoding=3D'utf-8'?= >
<expr>
  <derivation>
&= nbsp;   <repeated />
  </derivation&= gt;
</expr>

Terse! but at least th= e process completes.

I have noticed that the non-t= ermination problem is not confined to the opencascage_oce package.  If= I try 

$ nix-instantiate --strict --eva= l --xml -A guile /home/paul/.nix-defexpr/channels/nixpkgs

that does not terminate either.

Best,

Paul.
