Bug#591928: libc6: Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)

[Philip Ashmore <contact@philipashmore.com>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.11.2-2
Severity: normal

Valgrind 1:3.3.1-3 is reporting this when I "valgrinded" one of my programs.
As the problems were inside /lib/ld-2.11.1.so I tried valgrinding /bin/ls
from coreutils 6.10-6 and got a lot more problems.

To reproduce, type

valgrind -v --leak-check=full --show-reachable=yes /bin/ls
