Hi!

I just bisected on past eglibc versions and this is reproducible for me
(segfault 5% of the time) on kfreebsd-i386, up until this version, with
which I can't reproduce the problem any more (10,000+ test runs) :

The changelog for that version was quite long, but probably these
changes are what fixed this:

Therefore I'm marking this as fixed in that eglibc upload and I'll try
to let upstream know.  Thanks!
