+### Please describe the problem.
+Using git-annex from Debian (4.20130709), I attempted to add a 410M file named `Expressionlessm.tar`. It acted like it succeed, but the link it created was broken. Other files would add correctly.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+I can reliably cause the file to be removed and replaced with a dangling symlink by doing `git annex add Expressionlessm.tar`. The "addition" completes much faster than normal. Using the old version of git-annex that Ubuntu provides (3.20131112ubuntu4), the file adds correctly in at least one place it was having issues.
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+I'm using the version of git-annex from Debian Sid on Ubuntu 13.04 (perhaps that's my issue?)
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.
