Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge3
Severity: important
Tags: patch fixed-upstream

Bob Proulx reports in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00091.html>
that CVS coreutils won't build on an ia64 machine due to an assertion
failure in the pwd-long test.  This stems from a bug in the
implementation of getcwd.  In
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00092.html>
Andreas Schwab mentions that the glibc bug has been fixed in current
CVS; see <http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2418>.

The actual patch to sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getcwd.c, as installed, is
here.  Can you please backport this into Debian stable?  Thanks.
