If glibc breaks many other apps, then the system becomes unusable.

We have 2.3.2.ds1-13. It's upper version of 2.3.2. However, NSS code was changed in 2.3.2.ds1-1 and many static linked application was broken. We can't fix this problem. If you want to use such applications, please use LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to point to the old glibc 2.3.1 extracted directory. I think there's no bug in glibc. The workaround LD_LIBRARY_PATH should avoid your problem. If you have no objection, I'll close this bug.
