This patch has been fixed upstream. However, as it introduces an ABI change I won't backport it into glibc 2.9. As the release of glibc 2.10 should appear soon, I'll package a snapshot of the current CVS. I can't promise when though, it can be days or weeks depending on how I am busy in this period. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
