This looks like the same problem I had on cygwin, which lead to
commit c0f86547c ("index-pack: Disable threading on cygwin", 26-06-2012).
I didn't notice which platform you are on, but maybe you also have a
thread-unsafe pread()? Could you try re-building git with the
NO_THREAD_SAFE_PREAD build variable set?
