+
+[[!tag open_issue_porting]]
+
+On the otherwise-idle flubber:
+
+    $ git clone git://sources.redhat.com/git/glibc.git
+    Initialized empty Git repository in /media/data/home/tschwinge/tmp/glibc/glibc/.git/

+    Receiving objects: 100% (380933/380933), 70.31 MiB | 27 KiB/s, done.
+    Resolving deltas: 100% (294166/294166), done.
+    error: git-checkout-index: unable to create file iconvdata/ibm1122.c (Interrupted system call)
+    error: git-checkout-index: unable to create file localedata/charmaps/IBM862 (Interrupted system call)
+    Checking out files: 100% (10676/10676), done.
+    $ git status
+    # On branch master
+    # Changed but not updated:
+    #   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
+    #
+    #       modified:   iconvdata/ibm1122.c
+    #       modified:   localedata/charmaps/IBM862
+    #
+    no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
+    $ ls -l iconvdata/ibm1122.c localedata/charmaps/IBM862
+    -rw-r--r-- 1 tschwinge tschwinge 0 2008-12-15 15:49 iconvdata/ibm1122.c
+    -rw-r--r-- 1 tschwinge tschwinge 0 2008-12-15 15:49 localedata/charmaps/IBM862
+
+So these files are indeed of zero-length in the checked-out tree.  Is this
+git's fault or something else's?
+
+Fixing this situation is easy enough:
+
+    $ git checkout -- iconvdata/ibm1122.c localedata/charmaps/IBM862
+    $ git status
+    # On branch master
+    nothing to commit (working directory clean)

+The `runit` package doesn't work, even its test suite doesn't finish.
+
+[[Thomas_Schwinge|tschwinge]] once was having a look at that, but this very
+report is just from his memory, and his memory is dim...  The problem *might*
+either be a time stamping issue (which might be fixed by now) or it *might* be
+the `select` call failing issue we're seeing from time to time.  Or something
+else.
