Hi!

Does it just take long, or does it simply not terminate?

I get:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ time NIX_REMOTE=3Ddaemon nix-instantiate -A guile /data/src/nixpkgs --str=
ict --eval --xml | wc -c

As you can see it produces 7=C2=A0MiB of XML data, but that=E2=80=99s prett=
