Thanks.  Ok, a new test to try:

 # get the source:
 git clone git://sourceware.org/git/glibc.git

 # configure
 cd glibc
 mkdir BUILD
 ../configure --prefix=$HOME/opt/glibc

 # build - this takes a while
 make

 # test
 make check

If it reproduces the problem, then that would mean this is not Debian-
specific, so please write to libc-help@sourceware.org in that case to
request advice[1].  (If we are lucky, someone might recognize the bug or
know of some command like "strace -f" or patch that could help track
it down.)

No --- not at all.  By now I think we understand better how much the
result doesn't make sense. :)
