In linux, git show 60d9aa7 -U0 goes into an infinite loop. The commit log starts with:
commit 60d9aa758c00f20ade0cb1951f6a934f628dd2d7 Merge: b2adf0c 2e16cfc Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Date: Wed Dec 16 10:23:43 2009 -0800
Everything is fine without the -U0 option.
The commit only contains the following @@ lines:
@@@ -21,7 -21,7 +21,8 @@@ @@@ -33,7 -33,7 +33,8 @@@
That is, both have @@@, not @@.
thanks, julia

Yeah, I can confirm that with git version 1.7.10.rc1.225.gba57e.
This doesn't happen everytime, some there's some race condition.
unsigned long la; /* lookahead */ is either 49 (works fine) or 18446744073709551615 (seems to hang).

I don't know the code enough to understand this, but obviously la is set to 0, and then decremented in the loop.

That's what I found as well, but I don't understand how this relates to the patch below, which should fix the issue. Valgrind told me where to look instead.
-- >8 -- Subject: [PATCH] combine-diff: fix loop index underflow
If both la and context are zero at the start of the loop, la wraps around and we end up reading from memory far away. Skip the loop in that case instead.

Thanks. This dates back to 1.3.0.
Will queue.
