libpthread to nptl migration : nunmap_chunk() : invalid pointer

I found my bug : closedir(arg) used with uninitilized arg.

For me, it could also be a non-regression glibc bug, because with glibc
3.4.3 the following code didn't crashed the prog, with 4.1 it does :

#include <dirent.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
  DIR *dir;
  closedir(dir);
}

Thanks for your response.
