Bug#625521: glibc: causes segfault in Xorg

Yes, sorry for the misdirection.
Actually I have a question in mind still. The original report pinned
it on libc6 confidently, and I didn't think to question that (shame on
me). Steve, did you try downgrading to libc 2.11 and if so did that
make the crash go away?

Makes sense.
I also see a documentation bug --- how about something like this patch?
