The svn version of pulseaudio has a similar problem. Apparently RedHat already
fixed this in their unstable glibc. See:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=284171 and
  http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-hacker/2007-09/msg00005.html

It would be nice if this could be fixed in debian's glibc too :)
