7065, but it was really an aside to the main purpose of that bug report,
and I didn't mention the symlist stuff until after Ulrich had WONTFIXed
it. So I really over-egged the pudding in that comment. Perhaps people
really do care, just not enough to dig stuff out of obscure comments in
bug reports.
(Attila Tóth REOPENed the bug report, which even as the bug reporter I
think is somewhat impolite for a random passer-by to do :) )
(7066, a probable buffer overrun in strtold() reported by glibc's own
testsuite, has also had no attention since I opened it. That one's my
own damn fault for not pursuing it further and coming up with a patch, I
suppose.)
