It'd be surprising that you never gets the issue later on with the
system fully booted.

About the backtrace:

>>>>> user space <<<<<
0x1000(bfffff24,0,0,1160b,0)
0x11627(bfffff9c,0,0,0,2)
0x11bb()

That is quite surprising actually: in my ld.so there is nothing useful
at 0x1000. Perhaps you can check what 0x11627 is all about?

Also,

We don't have this section in the Debian glibc. It'd probably be useful
to know what this is about.
