This needs help by the git maintainer.  Eric?

As far as I could debug this, what happens is that read() is called
by git with the parameters address = 0x4051d0 and len = 4096.

The len is not the problem, but the address is:

  $ objdump -h /bin/git

  /bin/git:     file format pei-i386

  Sections:
  Idx Name          Size      VMA       LMA       File off  Algn
    0 .text         00052a58  00401000  00401000  00000400  2**4
		    CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, CODE
    1 .data         000145ec  00454000  00454000  00053000  2**5
		    CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA
    2 .rdata        00000330  00469000  00469000  00067600  2**2
		    CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA
    3 .bss          0000aa90  0046a000  0046a000  00000000  2**3
		    ALLOC
    4 .idata        00008748  00475000  00475000  00067a00  2**2
		    CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA

So the buffer address for the read, 0x4051d0, is well within the text
segment.  That can't be right.
