Bug#352868: glibc 2.3.6 fixes serious dlclose bug




Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.5-13

There is a serious bug in glibc's dlclose that casues a segfault when a library being dlclosed calls dlclose from an _fini function (i.e. a c++ destructor for a static or global object). This has been fixed by the glibc maintainers in 2.3.6; the original patch is here:

The libc6 package should either move to 2.3.6 upstream sources or backport this fix.
