What's a bit more worrying is that:

Causes the same problem on the current (1.3.2) release branch without any
other patches applied at all.
If you have electric fence installed, just do
PAGER= ef ./git whatchanged -B -C --stat --no-merges --diff-filter=RC
to run it with the efence preload, which should cause a core-dump and/or
be more debuggable.
Sadly, last I tried, you can't run gdb under ef, because electric fence
(incorrectly) thinks that zero-size allocations are bad.
