That is an issue with the connection between your machine and GitHub, nothing Homebrew can do about that.

[dcorbe]

That is not true.

As a workaround, I was able to su to root, cd /usr/local/homebrew, drop down to a bash shell, run ulimit -f unlimited and ulimit -n unlimited and manually do a git pull.

It might have worked that time, but the results of a git clone for the brew repo on GitHub is definitely not something Homebrew has any control over.
