I suspect the problem is in your program and not in glibc. Unless you
can provide small example source demonstrating a bug in glibc, you
will not get much help fixing your application on this list.
(In addition to using gdb to find the bug, you might also want to
check out 'valgrind', which can pinpoint use of uninitialized
variables and lots of other memory related errors.)
