Comment 17 for bug 1327412

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.
