Subject: sprintf segfaults
Package: libc6
Version: 2.0.6
When linked with -lpthread, sprintf() segfaults when called. It faults
in pthread_mutex_lock() indicating a lock pointer is wrong or
uninitialised; when not linked with -lpthread it is fine.
The bug seems to be confined to sprintf() as fprintf, printf and
others all seem to behave okay.
Originally discovered when using omniORB2. Get the omniORB2 ORB and
run the omniNames program. Even if the omniORB2 package is recompiled,
omniNames segfaults inside of pthread_mutex_lock() which is called
from sprintf().
