Bug#63575: libc6: tsearch()/twalk() broken

[Tuomas Heino <iheino@cc.hut.fi>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.1.3-2
Severity: important

The manual page of tsearch has an example - that seems
to be working on all the non-gnu libc's I have access to
- so I'd guess glibc has Yet Another BUG (tm).

man 3 tsearch
EXAMPLE
       The following program inserts twelve random numbers into a
       binary  tree,  then prints the numbers in order.  The num­
       bers are removed from the tree  and  their  storage  freed
       during the traversal.

    printf("x: %d\n", *ptr); /* Add this to see the random
                                numbers before walking the tree */

The rest of them seem to be missing, why?
