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. :)
