Thanks, Mathieu! I didn't get a chance to test this yet, but it's great to see it may be now fixed for good. :-)

Could you assist us once more?

We've been trying to send the fix for this bug upstream, so that all GNU/Linux distros can get the fixed versions. However, the original mailing list for klibc seems... kinda flaky. It's not dead, but it seems there's a lot of outside conversation before they do get patches.

By being (one of) the maintainer (s) of this package in Ubuntu, you might have more contact / closeness with H. Peter Anvin or any other dev who's involved with the upstream caretaking of klibc / klibc-utils. Could you send your fixes upstream? I know I'm asking for even more work regarding this, but it's a chance to have this fixed across all the Linux habitat instead of only Ubuntu (maybe Debian?).

Thanks. :-)
