[Bug 1028038] Re: sscanf always calls realloc/causes deadlock in google-perftools

[James Page]

I rebuilt google-perftools from quantal on precise with -proposed
enabled; the test that originally failed now passes just fine (see
attached build log).

Title:
  sscanf always calls realloc/causes deadlock in google-perftools

Status in “eglibc” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “eglibc” source package in Precise:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  SRU Justification:

  [Impact]
  When using google-perftools eglibc causes a deadlock.

  [Development Fix]
  This is fixed in quantal.

  [Stable Fix]
  A fix can be backported from quantal into precise.

  [Test Case]
  Run google-perftools.

  [Regression Potential]
  Patch introduces changes in stdio-common/vfscanf.c.

  This is currently causing a deadlock in the google-perftools testing.

  The fix has been committed to glibc 2.16 - http://cygwin.com/ml/libc-
  alpha/2012-01/msg00026.html

  It would be great if either glibc could be upgraded to 2.16 or this
  patch applied to the version in quantal.

  I have verified locally that this resolves the deadlock issue in
  google-perftools.
