Bug#177351: libc6: calling semctl(2) causes process to seg Fault on PowerPC

[Isaac Jurado Peinado <etanol@mnm.uib.es>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.1-9
Severity: normal

If you call semctl(2) after sucessfully creating a new semaphore set
with semget(2) it produces a Segmentation Fault on PowerPC.  Sample
code:

int create_mutex(key_t clave)
{
	int mutex;

        mutex = semget(clave, 1, IPC_CREAT|IPC_EXCL|0640);
	if (mutex == -1) 
		mutex = semget(clave, 1, 0);
	else 
		if (semctl(mutex, 0, SETVAL, 1) == -1)
			throw_an_error();
        return mutex;
}

It works on i386 with the same version.
