Package: libc6 Version: 2.13-38+deb7u4 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
There is a bug with the eglibc included in Wheezy that causes thread-local variables introduced by dlopen()'ed objects not to be properly freed. This can be a problem in any C program that loads a C++ module and runs threads in it, since libstdc++ introduces a thread-local variable for exception handling. The issue is described at glibc's bugzilla at this URL: <https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12650> It includes a working test-case and a link to the commit which fixed the issue: <http://repo.or.cz/w/glibc.git/commitdiff/e6c61494125126d2ba77e5d99f83887a2ed49783> This bug report over GCC describes the interaction with libcstd++: <https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39366> I have confirmed that this bug does not exist in Jessie. It would be a very Nice Thing if the fix could be backported to Wheezy, but I'm not familiar enough with the Policy to tell if this is feasible. In the meantime, I'll be restarting my HTTP server once a day. ;) -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.6 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.10.5 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii libc-bin 2.13-38+deb7u4 ii libgcc1 1:4.7.2-5 libc6 recommends no packages.
