This is all because of races in older versions of glibc.  Namely those two (now 
fixed) bugs are at fault:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5058 (a.k.a. 
http://bugs.debian.org/443660)
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5443 (a.k.a. 
http://bugs.debian.org/456531)

In upstream glibc, those bugs are fixed with version 2.8. In Debian,
2.7-11 has the backported fixes. I have not been able to test on Ubuntu
yet, but I assume this means the bug is in all versions before Intrepid.
