error: git-remote-https died of signal 13

Hi,

Using git version 1.9.2 I am getting this error:

[normal@laptop tmp]$ git clone https://github.com/mozilla/rust.git
Cloning into 'rust'...

error: git-remote-https died of signal 13

The repository appears to be cloned fine, I can clone other repositories
without error.

I appear to have the exact same symptoms as Stefan in November 2013 as
archived here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/238242/focus=238311.
In this case the cause was a curl error that was fixed in version curl
version 7.34...

I have curl version 7.36 though, in case some of the other output matters:

[normal@laptop tmp]$ curl --version
curl 7.36.0 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.36.0 OpenSSL/1.0.1g
zlib/1.2.8 libssh2/1.4.3
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps pop3 pop3s rtsp
scp sftp smtp smtps telnet tftp
Features: AsynchDNS GSS-Negotiate IPv6 Largefile NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz
TLS-SRP

The curl command to reproduce the since fixed bug (curl --limit-rate 250k
-L http://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/archive/4ade27942e.tar.gz >
/dev/null) runs without error and exits with a value of 0.

The first response to Stefan's bug report requested the output of the
command with GIT_TRANSPORT_HELPER_DEBUG=1 and strace -f, so I've included
that:
