Please note that executing ldd on the gv binary does NOT show a need for this lib. Weird. The various distro vendors should be updated on this minor issue.

Thank you for reporting this issue. But gv 3.6.7 is the latest version,
not gv 3.6.2. Which version do you really mean?
Well, I do not have every distribution to test with, but on Fedora 10
(without updates) it worked for me. On debian's bug tracker, there is no
bug reporting with this issue and the debian gv maintainer reports GNU
gv 3.6.7 being working on debian unstable - and yes, debian testing and
unstable are shipped with glibc 2.9. So any instructions how to
reproduce this bug would be helpful. Then we can investigate what goes
wrong.
