Hint: Pay close attention to the second sentence of the microproject
you've undertaken:

    Rewrite bulk-checkin.c:finish_bulk_checkin() to use a strbuf for
    handling packname, and explain why this is useful. Also check if
    the first argument of pack-write.c:finish_tmp_packfile() can be
    made const.

It's the clue to understanding the crash.
