Wheezy S3QL and sid S3QL both contain the bug. Currently, the wheezy
libc seems to incidentally work around the S3QL bug. However, this does
not happen with newer libc versions, so it may well be a libc bug
canceling out the S3QL bug. Therefore, with the current wheezy S3QL, any
change to wheezy's libc puts S3QL users at the risk of data loss.
I have not yet uploaded a patched version for sid, because I wasn't sure
if/how this interacts with getting an update into wheezy. If you'd like
to see the change in sid first, I'd be happy to upload. But note that
sid *already* contains a newer S3QL release than wheezy.
Best,
