> Sergey, do you know if this is a regression in glibc-2.12-1.208.el6?  Thanks.

It is glibc-2.12-1.208.el6 regression and it is related to patch for bug 1223095.
Upstream fix: https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=8dc9751764eb1bedf06d19695524b31a16773413

I have tested the upstream fix on x86_64 host, it works.
