I checked this out and it looks like something in git is overflowing
and scriblling on the stack.  I was hoping that it would be a cygwin
problem which I could fix (and I wouldn't be surprised if it eventually
turned out to be) but I didn't see much evidence of the DLL causing this
problem.  It looks like it is git itself doing something wrong.

Eric do you have the cycles to check this out?  It is pretty easy to
reproduce.
