Bug Description
SRU Justification:
[Impact]
When using google-perftools eglibc causes a deadlock.
[Development Fix]
This is fixed in quantal.
[Stable Fix]
A fix can be backported from quantal into precise.
[Test Case]
Run google-perftools.
[Regression Potential]
Patch introduces changes in stdio-common/
--
This is currently causing a deadlock in the google-perftools testing.
The fix has been committed to glibc 2.16 - http://
It would be great if either glibc could be upgraded to 2.16 or this patch applied to the version in quantal.
I have verified locally that this resolves the deadlock issue in google-perftools.
