OK, it's not an out-of-memory problem, though that's the exception that's
being thrown. The problem is that the call to deflateInit2 in botan/gzip.cc is
failing with Z_STREAM_ERROR, but the code assumes that all deflateInit2 errors
are memory exhaustion errors. In this case it's because an incorrect version
of zlib1.dll is being found on the path (so yes it's a local error).

With the correct zlib1.dll, I get the attached log. There are five
unexpected failures:

97 calculation_of_unidiffs
127 committing_with_a_non-english_message
177 empty_environment
199 i18n_commit_messages
213 importing_files_with_non-english_names

For completeness, I've attached the diffs between my workspace and the current
HEAD that I can see on net.venge.monotone
(8fd11e5825fd19d966543b3314cefb82c2cdca4e)
