Hi,
there is an undocumented behavior of hcreate_r function on libc6. This
function receives a struct hsearch_data, but the tricky detail is that
this structure MUST be initialized with zeroes, otherwise the creation
will fail. In fact, I think the problem is the GNU implementation, but
as long as they don't fix this, I think some lines in the manpage will
help others not to have to spend some hours debugging code.
Cheers,
Bruno.
