Package: libc6
Version: 2.7-16
Severity: normal

Ancient bug #177940 seems to have cropped up again, or something similar to
it.  I'm building owfs, which uses the AC_FUNC_MKTIME, and it's deciding
that mktime doesn't work, after a timeout (a note in the test source says
"This test makes some buggy mktime implementations loop. Give up after 60
seconds ...").  During those 60 seconds, the test program uses 100% cpu, and
an strace attached to it is continuously stat'ing /etc/localtime.
