Agreed.
~200K is significant when we are talking about < 4MB images. However, so
long as we track the eglibc bug, I am fine with including this
workaround to get things going.
I would ask that a comment be added which calls this out as a workaround
for the eglibc bug (a bug number would be great).
Thanks,
Darren
