Description Delan Azabani 2011-06-12 05:09:00 UTC

Upon updating to glibc 2.14 on both my tower and my netbook, programs like Firefox started randomly segfaulting on __libc_res_nquery(). Also, others like emerge failed to resolve names at all, though they didn't crash.

Downgrading to glibc-2.13-r2 (with a small hack to disable the abortion of a glibc downgrade) appears to fix the problem.

Reproducible: Always
