Bug#204981: libc6: VMWare Workstation 3.2.1 (build 2242) Aborts with 2.3.2-1 or 2.3.2-1

[Peter Lundkvist <p.lundkvist@telia.com>]

See news://news.vmware.com:119/bhh7fj$dg$1@london.vmware.com
and news://news.vmware.com:119/3F3CD853.8010DFB0@vandrovec.name
for a (hopefully temporary) workaround.

If you are running vmnet-nat, this also needs to be fixed, see
attached patch.
