As reported by Dave Jones: Since master.kernel.org updated to latest, I noticed that I could crash git-fetch by doing this.. export KERNEL=/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ git fetch $KERNEL/torvalds/linux-2.6 master:linus (gdb) bt 0 0x000000349fd6d44b in free () from /lib64/libc.so.6 1 0x000000000048f4eb in transport_unlock_pack (transport=0x7ce530) at transport.c:811 2 0x000000349fd31b25 in exit () from /lib64/libc.so.6 3 0x00000000004043d8 in handle_internal_command (argc=3, argv=0x7fffea4449f0) at git.c:379 4 0x0000000000404547 in main (argc=3, argv=0x7fffea4449f0) at git.c:443 5 0x000000349fd1c784 in __libc_start_main () from /lib64/libc.so.6 6 0x0000000000403ef9 in ?? () 7 0x00007fffea4449d8 in ?? () 8 0x0000000000000000 in ?? () I then remembered, my .bashrc has this.. export MALLOC_PERTURB_=$(($RANDOM % 255 + 1)) which is handy for showing up such bugs.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
