This also appears to be broken on HP-UX (e.g. we need to set NO_PREAD there). Thiago on IRC talked about this the other day when he was trying to build git on a bunch of different systems. Unfortunately this may just need to be an OS based test. The code compiles just fine but when index-pack tries to use pread to walk back through the deltas and generate their SHA-1s it barfs without an error code. I suspect the failure is pread claiming it put the data into the user buffer but not actually doing so, which causes zlib's inflate() to then see data corruption.
