Thanks for sending the glibc-2.8 fix to the collectd mailing list.

It would be nice though, if you could comment the hardening patch. Imho,
this does not fix anything but rather just hide some compiler warning. A
real fix would report an error and then act appropriately (I assume that
aborting the read makes the most sense but I did not look into the code
of the multimeter plugin yet).

Cheers,
Sebastian
