I'll poke around the glibc code. Writing code to re-implement a standard
facility makes me nervous, because it would seem to place the code at risk
of breaking should the underlying structures change, but this seems
relatively harmless.
It's definitely worth documenting as a potential future gotcha.

I'll see what I can find.
