I saw that, but since the debug trace looked exactly like the problem
I was referring to I thought I'd mention it.
I don't know what changes Debian makes (I'm an upstream developer)
and since some trivial changes can trigger the problem I was
referring to (something as simple as an extra debug or name service call
in a library can do it) it was worth a shot.

In that case it's almost certainly not the problem I was referring to.

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
