Thank you for reporting this issue.

Well, I do not have every distribution to test with, but on Fedora 10 
(without updates) it worked for me. On debian's bug tracker, there is no 
bug reporting with this issue and the debian gv maintainer recently 
reported GNU gv 3.6.7 being working on debian unstable - and yes, debian 
testing and unstable are shipped with glibc 2.9. So any instructions how 
to reproduce this bug would be helpful. Then we can investigate what 
goes wrong.
