I get this error after running "git commit"

error: Object 42504431bac2e2054483c1bbc35f1b535f8d11bb is a tag, not a commit Segmentation fault (core dumped)

"git cat-file -p 42504431bac2e2054483c1bbc35f1b535f8d11bb" gives this:

object 1b9a97613307b5c7bbc189a0e41506cb1534740a type commit tag v1.0 tagger marko <marko@bib> Sun Aug 14 20:42:12 2011 -0400

The first release
I had created a tag yesterday which I deleted since with "git tag -d" command.

Curiously, I could not find file ".git/objects/42/504431bac2e2054483c1bbc35f1b535f8d11bb" which I expected based on my very limited understanding of the Git internals. So, where does "git cat-file" pick up that information from? But more importantly, how do I fix this problem?
