Err, yes, I forgot to mention in the commit message that on my test
system the breakage occurs only after 2548183ba, "fix phantom untracked
files when core.ignorecase is set", which adds the pointer dir_next to
struct cache_entry. This seems to have caused an unlucky constellation
of offsets and struct sizes for the size estimator.

Only a little, I suspect. If we've moved past the end then it's too
late. And if we catch the error before it happens, dying is only
slightly better than crashing.
