I was unable to reproduce the error with the same repo and same Git
version on a different machine (Debian Squeeze x64 on a AMD Phenom x6
1045T).
I'm running out of ideas.
Me, too. Based on out current observations I'd assume one of:
a) a rare, timing-sensitive bug in Git
b) a compiler/distribution/environment sensitive issue
c) or defect/buggy Hardware (CPU, Memory)
Hrmm. I wonder about the significance of those 39MB. What is your
core.packedGitWindowSize? (Judging from the pastes you seem to be on
64bit, so the default would be 1GB.)
The default. I have 12GB RAM.
So I'll try to rule out b) and c) as far as I can and report in if I
have any new findings.
Nevertheless thank you very much for your extensive assistance!
