Aside from basic stuff like running out of disk space, I have no idea what would cause this problem. (It's weird that pread would fail with "no such file" when its API is to take an open file descriptor.)
One workaround might be to try setting this defined, mentioned in the Makefile: # Define NO_PREAD if you have a problem with pread() system call (e.g. # cygwin.dll before v1.5.22). Not exactly sure it's relevant, but from a script that wraps git where this error came up, the author of the script asks "are you on OS X?" http://groups.google.com/group/repo-discuss/msg/d6b4fd3d8a1677a2 "Unfortunately, either Python or Mac OS X is busted. With multiple cores present, we seem to get the result from waitpid() before all of the changes made by the child process are actually visible in the filesystem, so when we start the next child, the next child might be missing modifications it expected to see.
