I decided to endure the 30 minutes long this took on machine, and ran
the operation in gdb. As a result, I got the SIGSEGV again, and a 13MB
stacktrace.

In fact, the stack trace was probably longer, but this happened while I
printed out `bt full`:
        #80496 0x00000000004244bc in fsck_handle_ref (refname=0x162aa61
        "refs/heads/master", sha1=0x162aa39 "S\236\024(f\210��V\027�'�E
        \025�u�g",
            flag=<value optimized out>, cb_data=<value optimized out>)
        at builtin-fsck.c:118
                obj = <value optimized out>
        #80497 0x000000000047f61c in do_for_each_ref (base=0x4a7022
        "refs/", fn=0x424450 <fsck_handle_ref>, trim=0, cb_data=0x0) at
        refs.c:582
        [1]    29388 segmentation fault (core dumped)  gdb git
        tyler@ccnet:~/source/slide/brian_main> 
        
The "full" trace is here:
http://pineapple.monkeypox.org/scratch/git-1.6.0.2-fsck-sigsegv.trace

I think I'm going to need to have a drink :-/
