Where as with your previous version of glibc, the default action was to ignore such things (unless a certain env var is set), for some reason the default action of your present glibc is to display that message and abort(). I somewhat remember this being fixed but I cannot say so with certainty. Really it's the application's problem. The best thing to do would be to try and get a useful gdb backtrace and send it upstream (whether it's the app or a lib it uses). If you don't know how to get a backtrace, let me know.
