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.
