Ahh.. You have

	[core]
		legacyheaders = false

don't you? If you didn't, you should see a 15-byte object, not a 9-byte 
one.

And yes, I can reproduce this with that "core.legacyheaders=false" 
setting. It seems that config option is simply broken, and we never 
noticed, because almost nobody uses it.

Alexander - do you happen to have that "legacyheaders" setting too? Maybe 
that explains your pack corruption?
