Spent several weeks tracking a weird problem that I was blaming on (amongst other things) tcl/tk where a GUI application would lock up totally at random intervals. A similar Gtk GUI also suffered, but to a lesser degree.. After running strace and googling for "futex tcl bugs", I ended up here. Following the suggestion to upgrade to libc6-2.3.5, I can confirm that the problem appears to have disappeared. My thanks to Don Porter and David Welton for providing the answers..
