Package: libc6
Version: 2.10.1-7
Severity: important
Hi,
libc2.10 and 2.11 have a race in free() that causes apps that use
threading a lot to crash if MALLOC_CHECK_ is set to 3. This is already
reported upstream (http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10282)
and will be fixed in 2.11.1. It would good to have this fix in debian
earlier than 2.11.1, reason is simply so that such crashes can be
trusted again instead of having to suspect the libc bug. See also
