The error message is not coming from Hercules. So I
did a google search, and this:
http://www.mail-archive.com/git-commits-head@.../msg32841.htmlseems to suggest:
1. There was a bug in Linux.
2. The bug has been fixed.
3. You are not (based on the slight change in error
message) running the fixed version.
BFN. Paul.
