After going back and forth a few times, the conclusion that can be made
is that the new pfinet is causing the problems. Having it installed
results in the same errors with both the old and the new versions of
libc installed.

Well the hurd package was not available /var/cache/apt/archives, it was
supplied by mini.iso when installing the first time. However, I managed
to get back to both the old libc and pfinet, since I had saved lokal
copies of them.

The reason I consider staring from scratch is that there are complaints
about unclean shutdowns every time I reboot, due to the previous
filesystem corruption: If I run e2fsck, (clean) reboot, run Hurd for a
while, and (a clean) reboot the fs errors show up again!

BTW: Can I allocate larger than 4GB for a filesystem under qemu-kvm?
Compling large packages takes a lot of disk space. What about memory,
max still 853MB?
AT386 boot: physical memory from 0x0 to 0x3fffd000 (= 1024 MiB)
