+qemu-arm-static crashes "segmentation fault" when running "git clone -s"
+
+I want to use qemu-arm-static to cross-compile software. The compiler itself is a native cross-compiler connected via "distcc".
+
+The problem is that a script tries to do some stuff with "git" and with a "git clone -s" command the whole story reproducibly stops with a "segmentation fault".
+
+I don't know how to properly debug the issue but it happens 100% of the time that I get the "crash" or git just hangs forever with 100% CPU usage.
+
+What is the version of QEMU you are using?
+
+Actually this one magically went good. I'm testing in Virtual Box as my ARM64 host. Maybe something went wrong there. After rebooting the whole machine today "git" works well.
+
+Will reopen if it happens again...
+
+"git crashes" was a known issue with some older versions of QEMU (we had race conditions and git happens to go multi-threaded for some operations including I think 'clone'), but they should all now be fixed. If it does happen again I would recommend trying the most recent QEMU release.
+
+
+Let's assume that this is fixed. Please open a new bug if it happens again.
