I would fall back to the same solution as for the other things that RHEL, Debian & co don't do the way I prefer: Build a replacement. But at least for Ubuntu I would expect them to be happy to apply a patch onto of their glibc package to fix this, as long as there is a launchpad bug demonstrating some concrete need - ideally backed by some paying canonical customers. :) I believe you can get any change you want into Red Hat as long as you have support and sponsorship from one of their employees. For minimum effort make friends with their glibc package maintainer. I have unsuccessfully been trying to communicate with the debian glibc package maintainer for some 8 months by now and he hasn't replied, so I think you are right that debian will "never" add a patch for fixing this, and even if they do I guess it takes some five years before that arrives to users. //Peter
