Thanks for reporting, and sorry for the long silence.

Are you still able to reproduce this?  If not, do you remember when it
went away?

At first glance this looks more likely to be a python bug than a libc
one, but it's hard to say, so I'd be happy if we can figure it out.

Sorry for the trouble,
Jonathan
