Since I don't know of any such problems - and it seems you even can't
find such problems yourself on your machine - in glibc 2.1.3 and glibc
2.2.1.  

There're were some leaks in 2.2 but you're not using that version -
and it's fixed in 2.2.1 already so there's no sense in asking.  But if
you know of any problems in 2.2.1, then you should report it in a
proper way, I don't have time to play silly games.
