Well, it's not that difficult to figure out the version (run
/lib/libc.so.6), but I'm afraid the version is not going to tell you
anything.  For instance, the libc versions that are claimed to have the
problem in Red Hat releases don't appear to have that problem here.

That would appear to be very tricky.  Maybe we need to misappropriate the
alternate result file mechanism that was intended for the locale
differences.
