Bug#206839: libio incompatibility with GLIBC_2_0
Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.2-3
Severity: grave
It seems that libio has changed between 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 in such a way as
to break fseek() for programs that were compiled against glibc 2.0.
http://lists.debian.org/debian-glibc/2003/debian-glibc-200308/msg00218.html contains some commentary and a pointer to a binary testcase.
http://people.debian.org/~pb/libio.diff.gz contains all the changes in
libio between 2.3.1 and 2.3.2. I verified that rebuilding with the
libio subdirectory rolled back to the older version makes the bug go
away.
