pack bitmap woes on Windows

Running test suite of 'next' on Windows fails in t5310-pack-bitmaps with the following symptoms. I haven't followed the topic. Have there been patches floating that addressed the problem in one way or another?

This is after "not ok 3 - rev-list --test-bitmap verifies bitmaps". Numerous further test cases fail, but I didn't look at them.
