This is in glibc 2.11 as distributed by Gentoo that I see it. The vanilla USE
flag is disabled so they apply whatever Gentoo magic it is that makes things
happen. However the mcheck fix patch applied cleanly and I can't believe Gentoo
would create a patch to revert that fix.

According to gitweb the affected file (malloc/hooks.c) was last updated
2009-04-17 in the glibc 2.11 tag

Your testcase still triggered the bug (and quite expeditiously too).
