Had 1.6.4, just tried with 1.6.4.2 -- the error is still there, exactly so.
Anything I can do to provide more info?

To start with, this is Mandriva 2009.1, kernel 2.6.29, git built from scratch locally (not an RPM or something). Should I try some other things like strace? It's too minor to bother, if that's all it is, assuming it's not a symptom of something larger :)
