Guys,
Wait a minute. It is quite unfair to jump into a conversation like this and take
sides without having the whole picture.
Ulrich Drepper wrote several times that there's an explanation and it would
require work to give it to us.
Sometimes, programmers can be a bit gruff. Doesn't make them wrong :)
This bug report's new-found fame is quite unfortunate but it looks like if
Ulrich now takes a few minutes to educate us (and it looks like he will have to
if he wishes to keep his sanity!), the whole situation can be easily defused.
