git-apply segfault

[Andy Parkins <andyparkins@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I've not got time to investigate this further just now, I'll try later.  In 
case anyone else wants to though; I just got this core dump when running git 
rebase using current git master (1.5.3.4.206.g58ba4):

Core was generated by `git 
apply --allow-binary-replacement --index .dotest/patch'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

It was (unfortunately) on a private repository so I can't share it for 
testing, but am happy to do tests if wanted.
