Something strange going on here.  It doesn't happen on my machine.

You can try playing around with very minimal examples like:

  $ ./src/supermin -v -v -v --prepare filesystem -o /tmp/supermin.d

You'll probably also need to add printf's into src/pacman.ml,
especially the function `pacman_download_all_packages' which is the
one which seems to be failing.
