Good news!

For a different reason, I upgraded my kernel to the current Hoary Alpha2 version, 2.6.24-2-386. For several days now, the bug did not re-surface. Maybe the ones having the problem can do the same and see if it has been fixed already?

The upgrade into my Gutsy system worked without problem. I did the following:
1. Add this to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main restricted multiverse
2. sudo aptitude update
3. sudo aptitude install linux-image-2.6.24-2-386
To get X working again with my graphics card, I also had to:
4. sudo aptitude linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-2-386
5. sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx-legacy
, which also upgraded libc6, libc6-dev, libc6-i686
6. don't forget to re-enable your key repeat setting ;-)

Despite my worries, the rest of the system handles the upgrade of libc6 nicely and without any hiccups.

Can anyone confirm that the problem is gone after the upgrade?
