Updated glibc packages that address several bugs and implement some enhancements are now available.
The GNU libc packages (known as glibc) contain the standard C libraries used by applications.
This errata fixes several bugs in the GNU C Library.
Fixes include (in addition to enclosed Bugzilla entries) :
All users of glibc should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues.

This errata fixes several bugs in the GNU C Library.
Fixes include (in addition to enclosed Bugzilla entries) :
- fixed 32-bit atomic operations on 64-bit powerpc - fixed
-m32 -I /usr/include/nptl compilation on AMD64 - NPTL
<pthread.h> should now be usable in C++ code or
-pedantic -std=c89 C - rwlocks are now available also in
the _POSIX_C_SOURCE=200112L namespace - pthread_once is
no longer throw(), as the callback routine might throw -
pthread_create now correctly returns EAGAIN when thread
couldn't be created because of lack of memory - fixed
NPTL stack freeing in case of pthread_create failure
with detached thread - fixed pthread_mutex_timedlock on
i386 and AMD64 - Itanium gp saving fix in linuxthreads -
fixed s390/s390x unwinding tests done during
cancellation if stack frames are small - fixed
fnmatch(3) backslash handling - fixed out of memory
behaviour of syslog(3) - resolver ID randomization -
fixed fim (NaN, NaN) - glob(3) fixes for dangling
symlinks - catchsegv fixed to work with both 32-bit and
64-bit binaries on x86-64, s390x and ppc - fixed
reinitialization of _res when using NPTL stack cache -
updated bug reporting instructions, removed glibcbug
script - fixed infinite loop in iconv with some options
- fixed inet_aton return value - CPU friendlier busy
waiting in linuxthreads on EM64T and IA-64 - avoid
blocking/masking debug signal in linuxthreads - fixed
locale program output when neither LC_ALL nor LANG is
set - fixed using of uninitialized memory in localedef -
fixed mntent_r escape processing - optimized mtrace
script - linuxthread_db fixes on ppc64 - cfi
instructions in x86-64 linuxthreads vfork - some
_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200112L namespace fixes
All users of glibc should upgrade to these updated packages, which
