Package: libc6
Version: 2.9-18
Severity: important
When installing libc6 from unstable on lenny multiple important programs
SEGFAULT. Among them are cups and update-menus.
To reproduce install libc6, libc6-dev, libc6-i386, libc6-dbg and locales
from sid on lenny and try running update-menus with any parameters.
To examine the problem further I rebuilt update-menus from source with
"-g -O0" and ran it in gdb with the following result:
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/alve/menu/menu-2.1.41/update-menus/update-menus
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

When downgrading libc6 and locales to 2.7 and running the same binary again the
problem vanishes.

Thanks. Closing, but if you or anyone else learns more about this, I'd
be happy to revisit it.
