NVidia had the idea to provide a TLS version (in /usr/lib/tls) and a non-TLS version (in /usr/lib) of their library. Disabling optimized libraries means that the non-TLS version of the library is used. However, their code chose between TLS and non-TLS code on a different way (a test code), which always succeed on recent systems with NPTL library. This lead to a mix of TLS and non-TLS code, leading to a crash. I will workaround to the glibc to also use tls/ directory even when optimized libraries are disabled, as TLS is alway available in lenny. Anyway the NVidia code is buggy, and I think the nvidia-glx package should only provide the TLS version of the library, as Lenny guarantee that we have TLS available. A dependency on libc6 (>= 2.5-1) should probably be added to make sure it is the case during an upgrade. -- .''`.
