Hi,

Could you confirm this bug is still appeared in glibc 2.3.2.ds1-13?

Interestingly, the first strace calls ipc_subcall, but the second
calls clock_gettime.  Weird behavior.  I have no idea to resolve it.

I think it's not glibc problem; instead, for example hardware, or
kernel.  Please recheck it.  If you have no objection, I'll close this
bug.
