Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried this, but I haven't 
found a program that provokes a segfault using testrun.sh with 
an uninstalled build of glibc-2.18.

I did, however, try reinstalling glibc-2.18 and I found the 
same as before, namely the programs gvfs-mtp-volume-monitor, 
gvfsd-trash and xfdesktop all segfault. In case it's any use, 
here's the ldd output for the first two programs to fail.
