Bug#207134: libc6: makes jabberd segfault

[Daniel Kraft <da_kraft@web.de>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.2-3
Severity: important

Jabberd (package: jabber) segfaults immediately at startup (and even
when rebuilt freshly with libc6 2.3.2-3). I suspect that it's a libc6
problem because jabber works with libc6 2.3.1-16 and because I can't
imagine how it would make fork() fail (see attached gdb backtrace).

Regards,
Daniel
