Did you mean #110091? The reason I ignored it is that the original
report mixes the issue with libc6 2.2.x and libc6 2.3.x. If your trace
of gdb is still same with #110091, then the problem is X11 font
related, I think. If other applications have the same behavior, I'm
afraid it's not glibc but X11/GTK+1.2 problem.
I downgrade it from critical to normal.

I believe many users use the same version...
