Bug#632252: libc6: assertion error in res_query.c



Package: libc6
Version: 2.13-8
Severity: important

Today I upgraded both chromium (the web browser) and libc6.  I've seen
cases when I open a new tab and quickly type in a site name where the
browser crashes and upon reopening it and restoring my tabs, it crashes
again.  Repeat several times until it no longer crashes.

Running chromium from the command line, I get:

chromium --auth-server-whitelist=*.crustytoothpaste.net --password-store=detect: res_query.c:251: __libc_res_nquery: Assertion `hp != hp2' failed.

If glibc encounters an error, it should indicate that error by returning
an error code or setting errno or using some other error indication
mechanism, not triggering an assertion.
