Nevermind.  The machine is an old salvaged laptop and its disk
probably has some bad blocks.

I wasn't able to copy the bad repo since 'cp' kept failing to
copy the index file.  I/O errors..  After deleting the borked
index the problems went away, so I'll chalk this up to
failing hardware.  Sorry for the false alarm.
