It is worrysome why. In the meantime you could remove it (if it
were a .pack file without .idx then you may want to try feeding
it to unpack-objects but .idx without corresponding .pack is
pretty much useless).
At least, it should not SEGV later...
Absolutely. The particular code in http-fetch (your gdb session
tells us exactly where) seems quite loosely written, and there
may be other places that do not check return values.
