reassign 318244 libc6
thanks

Hi,

        This does not seem to be something that changes in make are
 going to fix. make essentially makes a glob (3) call; and that
 library call is where the segmentation violation occurs. Considering
 that the number of entries in the directory are insanely high, this
 could  be something that libc was not prepared for (memory
 exhausted?). 

        Anyway, rassigning to the package where this can be
 addressed. 

        manoj
