I for one don't understand why the patch offered in #325600 and haven't had a chance to examine the consequences of the proposed change. Further, your comments in the bug that the real bug might be an optimizer bug, or a broken inline_syscall4 implementation, don't inspire me to urge the glibc maintainers to apply such a patch without digging a lot deeper into it myself. If someone can address these doubts with some measure of authority, I'd be happy to ask the glibc maintainers and stable release managers to include a fix in etch r1, but from the bug log it looks like no one has bothered following up on the bug since a fix became available in experimental -- which is totally the wrong fix for etch, because experimental's glibc is NPTL-only, making it a separate codebase for thread handling. (And the current build failures on alpha are in NPTL now besides, so...) -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
