Bug#205328: libc6: mathematica segfaults, too

[Meik Hellmund <Meik.Hellmund@math.uni-leipzig.de>]

Perhaps this is helpful for other people, too:
Statically linked binaries which crash with the new libc6  can run 
using LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
For Mathematica, I did the following:
(A source for "testing" must be in /etc/apt/sources.list.)

apt-get -d install libc6/testing
mkdir /oldlibs
dpkg-deb -x /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.3.1-16_i386.deb /oldlibs/


Now, 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/oldlibs/lib/   /usr/local/bin/mathematica
works fine and can be used in a wrapper script.
