But it worked with the work-around, and not with my heads-on approach.  
The problem is in xmkstemp(), but when I apply this patch on top of my 
MAKESHIFT PATCH:

-- snip --
diff --git a/wrapper.c b/wrapper.c

 }

I get an even funnier error:

fatal: Unable to create temporary file '.git/objects/pack/tmp_pack_rvhvZb': Invalid argument
error: failed to run repack

Oh well, I'll let it sit over the weekend...

Ciao,
Dscho
