Did you gdb http-fetch?

If not, please use "sh -x git-clone..." to find out what command line to 
use.

And when you have the command line, please use valgrind to find out where 
the leak/corruption is.

There are some flags that are automatically set/unset when compiling the 
http transport, and it is not easy to know which flags are enabled in your 
setup.

But for starters, you might want to recompile http-fetch without -O2.  My 
gdb always has problems attributing the correct line, which does not 
exactly make it easier for me to debug things.  I could imagine your gdb 
is as annoying.
