If it wouldn't, then the bug you found would not have existed.  libc is not
magical in this regard, it's just the DSO in the symbol search order that
usually defines calloc et al.

The purpose of the bugzilla reports is to make sure they don't fall on the
floor.  For anything not already dealt with, that is a good thing to try to
be sure of.  For future reference, even if a fix goes right into the trunk,
it won't go into a stable branch (now 2.3) without a BZ report existing.
