Issue is fixed upstream but not included in a release, patch is attached

I'm not sure how slow these releases are.  I'd rather not add this to the overlay because its done upstream.  @jer okay to backport or shoudl we wait?

Based on that 3.1.0 was released in April 2003, 3.1.2 in July 2007 and the issue was fixed in August 2008, I wouldn't expect any release soon

@jer, can we add this patch to the tree?  I tested on glibc.  No problems.

Fixed in -r2.
