Ok, sorrry for not responsding for quite a while, we had the 5.0 release and had too much to do.
I found out why it segfaults: I had a .gitconfig file (sry must have somehow missed that no idea why actually) with the following contents:
http://dpaste.com/1027662/
it seems that the memory corruption does not happen anymore when i change
[apply]
whitespace = fix
to
[apply]
#whitespace = fix
so fixing whitespaces may be the culprit

The log file was empty and it seemed to apply everything nice when
running valgrind. When i tried to run it without valgrind it failed
with memory corruption.
Thanks, we are maybe getting closer. It's weird that it works OK with
valgrind. If the valgrind log is empty, though, I'm confused about where
the output you pasted below came from.

Hmm, it would be nice to have line numbers. Can you try compiling with
"-g -O0"?
The function where the problem is deals with whitespace munging. Just a
guess, but do you have any whitespace config options set (e.g.,
apply.whitespace)?
