That is actually OK.  This is the temporary pack file the fetch received 
but which final SHA1 has not been written yet.  Normally, after the 
delta resolution has finished (the part that requires the pread() calls) 
then the final SHA1 is written and the pack is moved to its final 
location under an appropriate name.  But in your case index-pack bailed 
out on the failing pread() and left its incomplete temporary pack there.
