In your source tree, check tests/webtbs/tw9089*.pp (compile tw9089[a- 
d] and then run "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./tw9089c" and "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./ 
tw9089d"). That's the test case I distilled from your test programs  
and which works fine for me. I've googled a bit and found a very long  
thread about the above assertion at http://lists.debian.org/debian-glibc/2004/01/msg00189.html

The conclusion of that thread appears to be that (in that case) it's  
caused by linking both to a static and to a dynamic version of libc,  
causing all sorts of trouble.
