I applied the patch and these commands:

cd rmwHtmlOld rm -fr .git git init git config core.compression 0 git add .

I then got the same error as before, "Bus error".  Rats!

Then I modified your script since I do not have seq or your test-genrandom. I substituted:

dd count=XX  if=/dev/random of=file_$i

where XX is adjusted to meet dd's requirements. Also, I found after searching for a while, that the following works just like your seq command:

xyzzy="1 2 3 4" for i in $xyzzy do ... done

Your script then ran flawlessly.

I looked through index-pack.c some more, but it is very hard to figure it out without doing a lot of research since there doesn't seem to be anything that describes the layout of a pack. The link towards the end of the user's manual doesn't work for me.

The difference between your test and my data is that instead of having a few large files, I have 11,500 files of varying sizes. On average though, the file size is about 370k.
