Test failures in today's pu: 0025, 4046, 4203, 9300, 9301

Hi *

My automatic test bisecter had several failures in today's pu.
Hopefully I picked the right Cc list:

* t0025-crlf-auto still randomly fails, see

    http://mid.gmane.org/201007292340.01836.trast@student.ethz.ch

  Input always welcome on this one.  (That's not why I'm writing, but
  it was a convenient chance to point it out again...)

* t4046-diff-rename-factorize failed and bisected to 22214a1b (Add
  testcases for the --detect-bulk-moves diffcore flag.).

* t4203-mailmap: bisected to d8d2eb7d (mailmap: fix use of freed
  memory).  I saw some list traffic possibly related to this, is it
  fixed already?

* t9300-fast-import: bisected to a544a23c (t9300 (fast-import):
  another test for the "replace root" feature).  The relevant snippet
  is

    ./test-lib.sh: eval: line 413: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
    ./test-lib.sh: eval: line 413: `         treeÿgit rev-parse --verify N10:) &&'
    not ok - 62 N: modify subtree, extract it, and modify again

  I'm not sure whether the funny character after 'tree' made it
  through the (automated) email alright, but if it did, it is the
  glyph of the Latin1 rendition of 0xff.

* t9301-fast-import-notes: bisected to 5edde51 (fast-import:
  filemodify after M 040000 <tree> "" crashes).  The failure shows

  etc.


Recall that this is a RHEL5.5 box that runs a little helper script on
a cronjob, which builds git and then runs the tests under valgrind.
For each failing test, it then bisects the failure (again with
valgrind).

Feel free to ask if you need more information.
