What was the fix? Can you explain the change please? :)

The glibc test-suite almost completed without issue on the newest
kernel, though I saw a transient failure in one of the resolv tests, it
wasn't a failure in the test, but rather the test ran longer than 2
seconds and was killed. The test uses mtrace() and I've not been able to
duplicate the failure, the test should *not* have run over the
milisecond mark.  I wasn't running anything on the box at that point so
it worries me quite a bit. With the box up and running I'm no longer
able to trigger the slow behaviour that caused the timeout. Previous to
this I had run the entire compile + testsuite from a clean boot, I'll
see if doing that again triggers the failure. It might not be related to
anything you've done, I don't think I've ever run a glibc build and
testsuite from a cold boot... who knows what VM issues lurk?
