So, I'm merging Linux master into my own dev tree and
here is what I get in syslog:

Dec 19 16:56:38 lion kernel: [ 1704.395478] git-merge-recur[12030] general protection rip:4285ef
rsp:7ffff727bf40 error:0

and on the command line:
...
Auto-merging init/Kconfig
Auto-merging init/version.c
/home/luben/bin/git-merge: line 394: 12030 Segmentation fault      git-merge-$strategy $common --
"$head_arg" "$@"
Merge with strategy recursive failed.

I'm running "next".

Are the people aware of this issue?

It is 100% reproducible on my trees.

Anyone has a patch?

     Luben

Do you have any pointers how to get the two branches you try to merge? I'd 
be most grateful to have the sha1's of both heads, too...

Ciao,
