Hi all, after reading Klaus Trainer's email in ubuntu-motu mailing list [1], I started to look at the bug [2] given. I realized this was not due to util-vserver but to dietlibc instead.
dietlibc is compiled without stack protector (-fno-stack-protector flag and WANT_SSP option disabled in source code) and this leads to weird behaviours in packages compiled with dietlibc support, see [3] and [4] for concrete examples, but I think many packages are affected. I prepared a spec [5] which tries to focus the issue and to provide a candidate solution for review. I also uploaded involved packages [6] on my PPA [7] for testing purposes. If feedbacks are positive, I would like to upload a fixed version of dietlibc and, once it will be built on all architectures, manage rebuilds of the packages which build-depend on it. Please, let me know your opinion about the issue.
