I mean the t3001 patch in comment part, which removes \n at the end of
.gitignore and crashes the unmodified git.

IOW I found a problem and this patch (not the t3001 one) should fix
it. Not sure if this causes Jonathan problem though.
Ah, I see.  And a bug that leaves a string unterminated will exhibit
different symptoms depending on what garbage happens to follow it, so it
may not be universally reproducible.

Thanks; applied (and I saw Jonathan's Ack, as well).

Thanks, both.
