OK, so the version you have (58ba4) is the latest fast-import after
the strbuf.c series went in.  The one immediately before that series
was 4bf538 and is probably actually stable.

So I wonder, can you test 4bf538 and then if it is good bisect
between those two commits?  There must be a memory corruption
introduced by one of the strbuf changes...
