Bug#614892: libc6: please apply upstream qsort() crash fix



Package: libc6
Version: 2.11.2-10

I noticed that msgmerge was randomly and intermittently dying
with SIGFPE on multiple systems of mine.  When I examined the
core file, I saw that it was dying in qsort_r().  Some detective
work showed that this was the following bug fixed in upstream
glibc:
        http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11655
with the following commit:
        http://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=fb88ac72c2dcbbd979c8798e4ea497818bb3e171

Since it makes some threaded programs crash randomly, it'd be
nice to get this fixed.

Thanks,

Ben.
