Please review the process in the following wiki link and use it for
your submissions:

http://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Contribution%20checklist

For example, the following points are incorrect in your submission:

* ChangeLog should not be posted as part of the patch
* Your submission needs a brief description of what you're trying to fix

>        __libc_message (action & 2,
> -                     "*** glibc detected *** %s: %s: 0x%s ***\n",

>                       __libc_argv[0] ?: "<unknown>", str, cp);
>      }
>    else if (action & 2)

The change is trivial but it may break scripts and diagnostic
utilities that may be using the earlier format.
