Title:
  Electron apps segfault on glibc 2.28 (cosmic)

Status in glibc package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Electron apps (like Atom) give a segfault when trying to start them on Ubuntu Cosmic.
  Apparently this is related to a certain commit that is part of glibc 2.28.

  Could the workaround as e.g. Arch has implemented also be applied to
  Ubuntu, otherwise many pre-compiled applications will not work when
  Cosmic will be released.
