Updating an existing repo with 'git fetch' apparently works. No problem when a local repo is cloned. No problem on Cygwin 1.5. According to strace output (attached), the error message "bad address" is from the child process git-index-pack. Function fhandler_base::wait_overlapped() returns Windows error 998 (ERROR_NOACCESS). Then readv(0, ., 1) fails with errno 14 (EFAULT).
