Bug#175511: 2.3.1-8 kills threaded web browsers (mozilla, galeon) on alpha
Package: libc6.1
Version: 2.3.1-8
Severity: critical
Tags: sid
With the 2.3.1-8 package installed, neither mozilla nor galeon can
contact a webserver: all attempted connections return an error message
of 'The connection was refused when attempting to contact <server>'.
Downgrading to libc6.1 2.3.1-5 fixes this error.
Below is the output of an attempt at stracing one of the running
threads; I'm not sure what it indicates, but it was the only strace that
showed anything out of the ordinary.
