Bug#166967: libc6: upgrade of libc6 may have broken jabber 1.4.2 server
Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.1-3
Severity: critical
Tags: sid
Justification: breaks unrelated software
after upgrading to this version of libc6, my jabber 1.4.2 server
(built from source) started segfaulting when a user tries to connect.
i rebuilt the binaries against this libc, and it still segfaults.
i played briefly with the jabber debian package, and it too dropped
connections as soon as they started, but i didn't try producing a core
and analyzing it.
thanks.
backtrace of core file:
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
