 From [http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/Nov-2010/msg00176.html]:
 > Just upgraded from Tor Browser Bundle 1.0.14 to 1.0.17 for Linux i686,
 running on Debian lenny/5.0.6. Getting glibc errors:

 guess this reflects a change in the build environment for TBB?

 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/torbrowser.git/blob/HEAD:/README.Linux The
 Linux TBB changelog] lists “Rebuild everything against an older glibc so
 it'll run on more distros” as the only change in Linux TBB 1.0.7, and none
 of the later changelog entries mention glibc, so I assume this is a bug.
