+> How many files copied are we talking about before it begins to fail?
+
+Tens of thousands of files processed, but many of them were already on the other remote so didn't invoke cp (or anything else).  ~3300 invocations of cp.
+
+I saved a log of ps aux, and, while the memory used by git annex remains relatively constant, I do observe /tons/ of zombie processes.  3300, actually.
+
+I didn't check all of them, but all of the zombie pids I checked appear to have corresponded to this command:
+
+    /home/pi/git-annex.linux/shimmed/git/git --git-dir=/home/pi/hdd/annex/.git --work-tree=/home/pi/hdd/annex cat-file --batch
+
+Perhaps git annex is forgetting to reap this processes?
