Was the pack you are trying to index built with that fast-import.c I sent last night? Its possible its doing something weird that pack-index can't handle, such as insert a duplicate object into the same pack...

How big is the pack file? I'd expect pack-index to be using something around 24 MB of memory (24 bytes/entry) but maybe its hanging onto a lot of data (memory leak?) as it decompresses the entries to compute the checksums.
