I got this message from git-commit:

$ git commit -a
<edit message, :wq>
fatal: Out of memory? mmap failed: Bad file descriptor
Create commit <my_prompt_string>

The exit status was 128.
Looks like the commit was successful though.
The partial message 'Create commit ' comes from print_summary()
in builtin-commit.c which is _after_ the actual commit.

$ git --version
git version 1.5.4.rc2.84.gf85fd-dirty

It was compiled with NO_CURL=1. The dirtiness comes from the
patches I submitted for relink earlier today.

The other possible clue is that this repo is on NFS.
