I think I just got whacked by this.  How does one back out libc.13 ???
I tried hiding libc.13 hoping not too much got infected.  There were a
few programs though...  Recompiling those with libc.12 got me broken
code for my troubles.

	if (fread(buf,bufsize,1,fp) != 1) {
		perror("read");
		return -1;

fp is valid, the file is readable and positioned at byte 0,  Yet 
fread returns 0 and perrror is called, with errno 0.

It prints out:
	read: Undefined error: 0

Seems like an include/libc.12 mismatch.

If I "revert" back to libc.13 fread works.  Did something in the
struct FILE change?  I guess I need an old copy of /usr/include to get
out of this mess.

The whole system is designed to make this hard to undo...
