That has been true for glibc 2.0, 2.1, 2.1.1, and 2.1.2. It will be true for 2.1.3 and 2.2. Everytime when we introduce a new symbol version, it will happen. Removing the setrlimit change won't help you on that since there are many other symbols using GLIBC_2.1.3. > cannot sell his software for 2.1.2 or 2.1.1.
