** Description changed: + SRU Justification: + + [Impact] + When using google-perftools eglibc causes a deadlock. + + [Development Fix] + This is fixed in quantal. + + [Stable Fix] + A fix can be backported from quantal into precise. + + [Test Case] + Run google-perftools. + + [Regression Potential] + Patch introduces changes in stdio-common/vfscanf.c. + + -- + This is currently causing a deadlock in the google-perftools testing. The fix has been committed to glibc 2.16 - http://cygwin.com/ml/libc- alpha/2012-01/msg00026.html It would be great if either glibc could be upgraded to 2.16 or this patch applied to the version in quantal. I have verified locally that this resolves the deadlock issue in google- perftools.
