This is a BUG.
While this glibc question is slightly offtopic here, I think that maybe a few people on this list could be interested in glibc, since the subject comes back on a regular basis...
the following web page :
http://sources.redhat.com/glibc
is definitely the place to go.
I feel that maybe this information could help someone, since I have wasted more than one hour searching www.gnu.org for the glibc mailing list archive :-)
Also http://www.suse.de/~aj/Projects.html#glibc
where it's said that Andrea Jaeger is responsible for glibc bug reports.
Reading the archive gives me the impression that the whole glibc is written by no more than half a dozen programmers, btw. What's more, I have also the impression that these few are not even contributing full time to glibc :-/
