Comment 28 for bug 524366

Testing on several 32bit and 64bit machines, I think I now know which combination is necessary to get the bug: A combination of 32bit (i386) with an ssse3 enabled processor. (To check: if "grep ssse3 /proc/cpuinfo" gives some output, the processor has sss3). Therefore I think the likely cause for the bug appearing now in lucid is the change in libc6 from March 21: "Backport 32bit SSSE3/SSE4 optimized memcmp and strcmp from trunk."
I'll test later today whether backporting the fix from the upstream 1.4 version works.
