Strange, I prepared this with "git diff" on emacs-25 branch.

OK, can you reset dired.c, regex.c and search.c to their state as of
commit 5a26c9b0e1b0d9a2de35e0a8b0a803017e70def0 instead?  This is one
commit before Noam made his changes.

Apart from downgrading to an older glibc version, I'm not aware of any
way.

Yes, I think so.

But we cannot ask users to not upgrade to newer glibc, so we must
solve these problems somehow.  If you can afford being a guinea pig
for a little bit longer, I'd appreciate that, as otherwise I don't
know how to proceed with this bug.  Other people are also seeing
similar problems, e.g., see

Thanks.
