There was very recently a libc6 package (2.0.7r-3) that died if you had an
/etc/ld.so.preload file or the environment variable LD_PRELOAD set.

I'd recommend temporarily moving that file (after mounting your drive
with the rescue disk as above) if it exists and commenting out any
definitions of LD_PRELOAD in /etc/profile or similar files.

You should then be able to boot your system and upgrade to the latest
(-5) libc6 that fixes these problems. (This should be on the ftp
mirrors now; though I can't get through to ftp.debian.org at the
moment, I can see it on non-us.debian.org, so it's probably on all the
major ftp mirrors) You can then move /etc/ld.so.preload back and
re-enable any LD_PRELOAD settings.

This sounds like the ld.so.preload problem.

The get you back on your feet fix: move /etc/ld.so.preload to a backup
location using a rescue disk and reboot.

The long term solution: upgrade libc6.

HTH,
