Bug#174040: qmail can't run after update to 2.3.1-6

[Jose Luis Domingo Lopez <debian@24x7linux.com>]

Hi all:

There are other applications that break with libc6 2.3.1-6 apart from
qmail. For example, ucspi-tcp's tcpserver (another program from DJB)
also fails with similar symptoms. xmms hangs as soon as you operate some
control (stop button, for example). Mozilla also hanged in front of me,
and I decided not to test even further, to reduce the risks of data loss.

In short, there seems to be more broken code with this libc6's version
apart from qmail and other DJB's children.

ii  libc6          2.3.1-5        GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone
ii  ucspi-tcp      0.88-5         tools for building TCP client-server applica
ii  qmail          1.03-24        Secure, reliable, efficient, simple mail tra
ii  xmms           1.2.7-1.1      Versatile X audio player that looks like Win

Hope it helps.
