[BUG] 2.46.0 t7701.09 fails on NonStop ia64

Hi Team,

I think this is low priority but would like to understand the situation. It only happens on NonStop ia64 (consistently), not x86.

The t7701.09 subtest fails missing files:

Total 3 (delta 0), reused 3 (delta 0), pack-reused 0 (from 0) ls: cannot access '.git/objects/pack/pack-*.mtimes': No such file or directory test_line_count: line count for cruft.after != 2 not ok 9 - --max-cruft-size with pruning

The test directory contains: ./.git/objects/pack ./.git/objects/pack/pack-68c6c8c8538900694c32380ac1484201c8b60d8d.idx ./.git/objects/pack/pack-68c6c8c8538900694c32380ac1484201c8b60d8d.pack ./.git/objects/pack/pack-68c6c8c8538900694c32380ac1484201c8b60d8d.rev

but no mtimes files. I'm not sure how to proceed with this - currently ignoring the failure but I think it might be significant. This only fails on NonStop ia64 (which is much older) and passes on NonStop x86. There is no real file system reason why this would be a difference between the two platforms. There are some limit differences, but that's pretty much it.

Any assistance tracking this down would be appreciated. I can set up breakpoints to catch whatever is needed.
