As a test for this, I've rebuild glibc with the patch applied, however I 
get a bit unstuck - as the system I need to apply this update on also 
requires a 32 bit version of glibc for the install of IBM Tivoli Storage 
Manager!

One thing I don't have is a build environment that is able to process 
.i686 packages!

I'm wondering if it is possible to build the glibc packages with the 
patch applied and either:
	1) Put them on a separate web site so we can point people who have this 
issue to them and not confuse stuff with the main repos, or;
	2) Build it and push it out in sl6x-fastbugs?

I rebuilt the packages as:
	glibc-2.12-1.47.1.el6.5.x86_64.rpm etc

This way I figure that the next release from TUV will be 
glibc-2.12-1.(xx) where xx will be higher than 47.

The only annoyance is that if we patch it separately, then we'll have to 
manually add the patch to any possible glibc updates until TUV fix their 
end...

A penny for the thoughts of the SL team? :)
