Yeah, that looks like a real bug - it means that if we only have enough memory to have _one_ window open, the whole pack-file windowing doesn't work. Now, in this case, it looks like Tim's problem was just some way too tight memory limits by his Debian install, and is fixed for him now, but this does seem to be a beauty wart that should be fixed. > But that strace above shows a secondary bug when we get into this > sort of situation. Not pretty. Yeah. ulimit -S -v 65536 git clone linux-2.6 test-linux-2.6 or similar should be able to reproduce it, if you just set the pack-file window to something like 32MB. Maybe.
