Hi,

Sorry for being unclear; there recently was an optimization in libc6's
memcpy (on amd64) that broke some programs because they assumed memcpy
behaved like memmove.  Please have a look at [1], which lists the
libraries and how to use them (on jh_manifest).
  If you are not on an amd64 / 64bit user space or if the preloading
does not work, let me know because that implies it not an issue with
(misusing) libc6's memcpy.
