glibc "issue" Try upgrading it to a newer version.

To test this out, try grabbing the udev tarball and building it:
 make
then as root:
 make test

It should fail on the test "big minor number test" or "big major number
test" and "big major and big minor number test" (sorry I don't remember
the number of the test.)

Then try this:
 make clean
 make USE_KLIBC=true
and then as root:
 make test

Odds are those tests then pass. If so, it's a glibc thing.

thanks,
