I think so, but the last few days are kind of a haze of irreproducible
crashes :-(.  And it was only just now that I realized that the logs
showing mysql terminating for no apparent reason looked exactly like
my stdout/stderr captures from terminal sessions that included glibc
reports.  I don't have any way to prove that those sessions actually
included some glibc output that I never saw ... it just seems pretty
likely.  Anyway, given other comments, it seems clear that (1) glibc
does send these things to /dev/tty by default, and (2) nothing in the
koji environment is doing anything to capture such output.
