And, when I tried this, it pointed to an actual problem in git rather than

Isn't git normally used for source control management by programmers?
If this is such a bad problem why isn't one of those programmers looking
into it and proposing a fix? That's one of the reasons for free
software - you can fix the problems yourself.
And, before someone inevitably opines that I'm just being mean, I have
to point out that this really is how many open source projects work.
People who are not maintainers actually do propose fixes.
I agree.
Also, I admit that I am fishing for a developer that might be interested
in fixing this. I also wanted to make the connection between the
threads so that if someone did want to take a look at this, they would
know how to reproduce it.
Christopher, I did have a question on the old thread that went
un-answered. I was wondering exactly what process you used to determine
that it was git that was having a stack issue. It would be helpful as a
starting point for a developer to try and fix this issue. I would be
interested in repeating your experiment myself if I had that information.
Thanks.
-Bill
