Jim,
A little experimentation makes me think this is a bug in glibc,
but I have not spotted what could be the cause.
I suspect the -14 relates to EFAULT (error number 14), but
this should not be getting returned as the function result.
I suggest reassigning this bug, or perhaps raising a report
in http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/.
Cheers,
Michael
