WARNING: libc6_2.0.7r-3 and r-4 CRITICAL BUG
Those of you beta-testing Debian 2.0 need to be aware of a critical bug in
the libc6 package, version 2.0.7r-3 and 2.0.7r-4.
If you received a 2.0 beta CD, or last upgraded your 2.0 install just after
it went beta, this does not affect you.
Any programs dynamically linked with libc6 (i.e. everything) will segfault
(crash) if you have an /etc/ld.so.preload file or have the LD_PRELOAD
environment variable set.
This can hose your system.
Fixed packages have just finished processing through the Incoming queue
and will soon be mirrored on ftp.debian.org (perhaps by the time you read
this message). They will be named 'libc6_2.0.7r-5.deb'. (i386 md5sum:
