This issue seems sensitive to a number of factors, including whether
transliterate mode is used, the exact input string, the system locale (!), and
whether there is sufficient output space. I will attach a sample program which
demonstrates this issue shortly.

I have confirmed this issue on gentoo and debian distributions of libc. I tried
to confirm it with CVS, but the build failed with this error:
checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
configure: error:
*** It seems that you're using an old `crypt' add-on.  crypt is now
*** part of glibc and using the old add-on will not work with this
*** release.  Start again with fresh sources and without the old
*** `crypt' add-on.

Since this is a clean checkout from cvs, I'm not sure what it wants me
to do here.

Additionally, the version of glibc testes was 2.6.1, with differing distribution
patches (gentoo and ubuntu, sorry). I wasn't able to enter it in the metadata,
as there was no value for 2.6 in the options available for version.
