Actually, I went for the other end; I made close_pack_windows() not mind 
the open windows (hey, it's dying anyway in my case, nobody's going to 
write more), and the results passed verification and "git fsck --full" 
with just a few dangling blobs and a dangling commit. So it seems to me 
that it has to be wrong information in memory.
