I also have malloc problems but only on Windows, on Linux it works fine.
My case: I have a 500 MB repository with a 1GB working tree, with
binary files ranging from 100KB to 50MB and a few thousand source
files.
I have two branches ('master' and 'cmake') and the latter has suffered
a huge hierarchy reorganization.
When I merge 'master' in 'cmake', if I use the 'subtree' strategy, it
works fine. If I use any other strategy, after a couple of minutes I
receive a "malloc failed" and the tree is all messed up. As I said, on
Linux it works fine, so maybe it's a Windows-specific problem.
