That's great - thank you (again) for testing this. :-) I'd help with the
testing (compiling my own version), but I'm in a slow, expensive
connection at the moment and can't grab the needed kernel packages.

If the latest version (from the most upstream this can get) also has
this issue, what do you think about taking this issue straight to them
as well?

klibc seems to have a development mailing list at:

http://www.zytor.com/mailman/listinfo/klibc/

It's been a bit empty lately, but I'm pretty sure the developers are
still there lurking. There are very recent GIT source updates being
mailed to the list.

It may be even easier to have it fixed, since you already have a
proposed solution that seems to be working pretty well (I'm pretty sure
they'll need to test it a lot in different settings, but it's part of
the process). Feel free to use the files I attached to this bug if they
need further evidence (even though we both know that your analysis of
the code will be the juicy main course here :-)).

If we get them to fix it upstream, we may "simply" harass Debian and
Ubuntu to update their sources for the fix.
