Hi again. I have got this reply from Roland McGrath (glibc maintainer):

So, indeed, it's a glibc bug. Unfortunately, it will not be publically
corrected 'til glibc2.3.3, I'm afraid, and I don't think is in our policy
putting in workarounds, in such cases... I'm open to suggestions, however!
Paolo.
