I checked, and the patch is there and applied.

This is rather odd.

I'm not sure if we can do anything simple on the glibc to help to debug
this.  If something in the process consumes the Netlink message from the
kernel (incorrectly reading from the internal glibc file descriptor),
this is fairly difficult detect inside glibc (it would require rather
large changes which do not currently exist at all).
