Package: libc6.1
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-22
I found that getcontext/setcontext doesn't restore the register r32 on IA-64.

It shouldn't segmentation fault, I think.

getcontext/setcontext is implemented at kernel level, so the bug is
actually in the kernel you are using. Note that the problem is not
present here on a 2.6.18 kernel. However I don't know in which version
it has been fixed.
As you are not using a Debian kernel, I am closing the bug. If you can
reproduce the bug with a Debian kernel, please report it to the
corresponding package.
