Package: libc6
Version: 2.2.5-14
When I invoke less (version 376-3) or acroread (4.05-5), both fail
with a read that is too short. That is, less simply doesn't show (part
of) the file, and acroread complains:
-----------------------------------------
acroread: ../../Source/ATM/Extra/Edge/FileCore.cpp:322: CTBool
CTFile::Write(const void *, unsigned int): Assertion `nWritten ==
nCount' failed.
/usr/bin/acroread: line 8: 25483 Aborted
/usr/lib/Acrobat4/bin/acroread "$@"
-----------------------------------------
Note that this problem doesn't occur under root.
I suspect there is some kind of a bug in libc6.
I am using Debian testing, virgin kernel 2.4.18.

There is no reason to remain such vague bug on BTS. I close it.
