It would be nice if you could take a look and tell me if this gives

anything.
I think this is the infamous thread stack corruption bug. There are
numerous discussions about it on the list.
It's just a guess but I believe my kernel patch may help. Attaching
latest
version for 3.7.1.
If the patch doesn't help, then I think we need to review the glibc
patch sets for debian and gentoo. I have installed an unmodified
version of 2.13-37.
I have now applied this patch and while at it added another 1GB of RAM,
but I don't think the latter will make any difference.
I was now able to run the CMake git test for more than a dozen times in
a row without a single failure and also the git testsuite is now in the
range of the 6000 with it's tests, which is far beyond anything it was
able to reach until now. So I think that your patch indeed makes things
better.
Time to split it up and submit it upstream ;)
