It looks like the same bug as #757402, which is a bug in the testsuite
(not in git itself).  What's odd is that ppc64el the corresponding
problem doesn't seem to be 100% reproducible --- e.g. in the log you
mentioned, the packaging runs tests twice, and they failed the first
time and passed the second time.

Based on your knowledge of the arch, does that make sense?  Would
limiting a process to a 64k stack with "ulimit -s 64" be expected to
make it sometimes fail and sometimes succeed?

Curious,
Jonathan
