Downloading and install netqmail-1.04 (which incorporates this patch)
solved my qmail problems, only VMWare is still affected. Petr
Vandrovec's solution:

mv /usr/bin/vmnet-natd /usr/bin/vmnet-natd.bin

and create /usr/bin/vmnet-natd:

#!/bin/sh
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 exec /usr/bin/vmnet-natd.bin "$@"

Phew, another glibc update has failed to bring down my system :-)

Thanks,
Jurriaan
