Drepper, try to stick to technical arguments rather than trying to bully people
who bring bad news. These messengers might eventually shout these inferior (to
put it mildly) bug handling policies, people involved and consequences even for
bug-free software from the rooftops. After all, you're not the assignee... and
I'm not at all impressed.

One of the issues mentioned here persists even with this newer glibc version, so
I'm setting "Version unspecified" since 2.5 isn't yet there in the bugzilla:
