Probably, yes. You can check for sure by unpacking the source of
/lib/libc-2.3.2.so and looking whether the ChangeLog contains this
entry:

2003-10-19  Bruno Haible  <address@hidden>

        * intl/hash-string.c (hash_string): Zero-extend each char from the
        string; the old code did a sign-extend on some platforms.

Newer distros use newer glibcs and therefore will not have this problem.
