After seeing the new glibc update worked for almost everyone else, I started apt-get install --reinstall every package I could think of. No luck. Then I changed root's shell and BINGO!
As can be seen in the bugs on bash-static, bash-static may fail without warning whenever a new glibc version is uploaded. To me, that doesn't sound like 'static', but hey - at least I can login as root again! Please close this bug, glibc is not at fault. Kind regards, Jurriaan -- HORROR FILM WISDOM: 15.
