Comment 4 for bug 716332

Well... I can't reproduce it easily...

At the time I had a samba compile running in a bin-mounted unionfs chroot
as well as virtualbox running windows 2008 with the container file
both of which were based in my ecyrptfs mounted homedir

My machine is dual core and was running lowish on RAM, probably 120 MB free and 95MB buffers

(I've had a git corruption too which I was able to fix using low level git commands to extract a git object from a backup and re-insert it into the damaged repo).

I don't think this report can be much more than anecdotal evidence for the developers of problems which may exist under load.
