problem with git clone on cygwin

Hi,

running git on Cygwin I have a problem with git clone on local disk,
while packing data. 

The problem comes with v1.5.0-rc0. I bisected the problem down to
commit 6d2fa7 as the first bad commit.

It seems to be a problem with cygwin.dll prior v1.5.22 and pread(), if
using an offset!=0. (I'm running cygwin.dll v1.5.21 build date
2006-07-27 and I can't update because of other compatibility problems).

So I tried:
- not to set NO_MMAP to use real mmap
- changing get_data_from_pack() from index-pack.c to used mmap() as
  in 042aea8. (I did this because it directly uses pread().)
This solved the problem for my testcase.

The added testcase also succeeds on Linux but just with v1.4.4 or my
patch on Cygwin.

Is there anybody else having the same problem in git universe?
