git on 32bits

Whilst trying to clone a large repository with git 2.0.2 with up to date Arch
Linux everest 3.15.5-2-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jul 11 07:55:51 CEST 2014 i686 GNU/Linux

I see this error. I tried 3 times, but always the same.

robin@everest ~:
$ git clone git://repo.or.cz/tomato.git

On a nearby 12.04 ubuntu Linux erebus 3.5.0-39-generic #60~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 14 15:38:41 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
things work fine. Is this an issue with memory or address size or what?

Re: git on 32bits

As strange as it may sound, the Internet seems to suggest that it's... a hardware issue?

Re: git on 32bits

The 32 bit seems otherwise healthy, but it does seem strange. So I guess the question is memory, disk, network or something else. I have copied the repo from the 64bit machine and there it seems OK.
