Well, we thought it would work and it did work, and those fixes are in
the codebase... so win!

It does look like we need to make a new release soon.

I find that difficult to understand.  Are you SURE you're using the
exact same GNU libc on all the different systems?

As I pointed out in a previous post, this has no relationship to the
underyling architecture, compiler, etc.  As far as I understanding it
this issue comes solely from the version of GNU libc you're using.
