Hello World! Since I've been using glibc-2.14 Firefox and Midori (a webkit based browser) have been very crashy. When firefox crashes it leaves this in the terminal:
firefox: res_query.c:251: __libc_res_nquery: Assertion `hp != hp2' failed. Aborted Googling on that led me to this bug in glibc: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13013 The patch attached to that bug applies cleanly and fixes the problem, Firefox no longer crashes. As this is a bug in glibc-2.14 (glibc-2.13 works fine and does not need patching) I think we should add this to the book or people will be building systems where browsers crash due to a bug in glibc-2.14.
