I can't reproduce this on 10.5.8.  Can you try running it in the
debugger and putting a breakpoint where they suggest?  Maybe it
will help give us some context information:

  REQUEST_METHOD=GET \
  PATH_TRANSLATED=`pwd`/.git/info/refs \
  QUERY_STRING=service=git-upload-pack \
  gdb ./git-http-backend

  b malloc_error_break
  run

I suspect that's where our failure is, the code path for the actual
common negotiation and data transfer is shorter, and less likely
to need to do a memory allocation... and therefore a free.
