Think of libc as the heart of your computer's software. You just instructed your computer to do a hart transplant without the patient going on bypass. OK, its the best analogy I could come up with. I don't know if fixing this is possible, hopefully someone can help you. I hope you had good backups (if not, do them now if you can).
