Sorry, no idea. The only thing I can tell you that I sucessfully 
installed it in a virtual machine running Fedora 10 (without any 
updates), which is shipped with "glibc-2.9-2.i386.rpm". Fedora Rawhide 
(the upcoming Fedora 11) contains GNU gv 3.6.7 and in Redhat's bugzilla 
there is no bug reporting any problems with it. IIRR Fedora 10 contains 
GNU gv 3.6.6 (at least after installing all available updates). Again no 
bug report can be found in redhat's bugzilla.

So to tell the truth: I do not know how to handle this bug report.

@Bernhard: Are there any problems of this kind known in debian testing 
and/or unstable (they are shipped with glibc 2.9 according to 
http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/glibc.html ) ?
