Bug#405411: glibc clone() call buggy on HPPA

["Helge Deller" <deller@gmx.de>]

Package: libc6
Architecture: hppa
Source: glibc
Version: 2.3.6.ds1-9
Maintainer: GNU Libc Maintainers <debian-glibc@lists.debian.org>

The current libc6 (2.3.6.dsl-9) on the HPPA (PARISC) architecture has two bugs in the clone() function. The first bug is, that it does not check the input variables for correctness. The second bug is, that the child process crashes when it call "return 0".
Both bugs are already fixed upstream in glibc CVS sources in a similiar way, but the current debian package (which is based on an older glibc source) still has the bug.

Due to my current web-mailer I can't attach the patch to this bug report. Instead it would be great if the patch can be taken from this mail/thread on the parisc-linux development list:

Thanks,
Helge
