Hello I have just installed git 1.7.5 on Solaris 9, SPARC, using a package from sunfreeware.com. I've created a new repository with 'git init' and done a commit. Now I'm trying to set up a shared repository but it seems there is some issue preventing git from creating a thread for the 'sideband demultiplexer'. First trying to do a git fetch --bare locally to create the shared repository fails: $ git --bare init --shared Initialized empty shared Git repository in /pub/lots.git/ $ git --bare fetch /home/jesse/src/lots master:master error: cannot create thread: Unknown error fatal: fetch-pack: unable to fork off sideband demultiplexer $ Broken Pipe I worked around the above error by using 'git clone --bare' instead. But now from a remote box I'm unable to do a clone over ssh for the same reason: $ git clone ssh://test03/pub/lots.git Cloning into lots... error: cannot create thread: Unknown error fatal: fetch-pack: unable to fork off sideband demultiplexer $ error: git upload-pack: git-pack-objects died with error. fatal: git upload-pack: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side. Any help greatly appreciated. I've searched the mailing list and online and can't seem to find anyone else having this issue. Then again my search skills don't seem to be what they once used to be!
