Bug#583577: libc6: pthread_mutex_timedlock can segfault

[Erland Lewin <erland@emediate.se>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.7-18lenny2
Severity: important


The bug described in the glibc bug report at:

 http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6419

seems to be present in Debian Lenny. Running the example program in the above
bug report causes a segmentation fault in pthread_mutex_timedlock, at least
on this hardware.

I think this is important because it is a bug in a core function.
