not ok 86 - Type of broken object is correct when type is large

Perhaps it would have a better chance of being correct with this
squashed in.

Interestingly, neither test passes on Mac OS X even with this fixup.
In fact, the git-hash-object invocation which computes/retrieves
'bogus_sha1' with the extra long bogus type crashes with SIGABRT in
write_sha1_file_prepare(). Still investigating.

It's a buffer overflow problem. I'm preparing a patch.

Just saw your patch, thanks Eric.
