That is a bug in the obsolete version of libc6 which is provided by Debian.
Maybe the package maintainers and the Debian project leaders should be made

aware by the Linux Audio community that former supporters of Debian have moved

to Ubuntu because of bug 266507. People here have spent countless hours to

diagnose that bug, find a fix and deal with problems resulting from the

non-fixing of that bug in Debian.
I have CCd the glibc-maintainers and leader@debian.org. Maybe they can tell us

why that bugfix was not applied, the priority of the bug has not been increased

and an obsolete version of the library is used.
Cheers,

Andreas
