Description of problem:
With a working hesiod configuration, and hesiod enabled for group resolution, multiple applications are crashing while initializing a supplemental groups list.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
glibc-2.21.90-21.fc23.x86_64
coreutils-8.24-2.fc23.x86_64 used to reproduce the bug
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. cat > /etc/hesiod.conf << EOF
lhs=.hs
rhs=.devel.redhat.com
EOF
2. Add "hesiod" as a source for "group" information in /etc/nsswitch.conf. Mine reads "files hesiod".
3. Run "groups nalin" or similar.
Actual results:
"groups" segfaults. I'll attach the gdb backtrace.
Expected results:
The expected groups list.

Due to this change, a glibc update to the fixed versions *without* a

Bug description:
[Impact]
The nss_hesiod nsswitch module, which worked in previous releases,
does not work at all in Ubuntu 16.04. Enabling it causes NULL pointer
dereferences in calls such as getpwuid(). This will prevent any user
logins from succeeding in our environment of hundreds of workstations,
which in turn blocks us from upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04.
[Test Case]
# sed -i 's/passwd: *compat/& hesiod/' /etc/nsswitch.conf
# cat > /etc/hesiod.conf <<EOF
lhs=.ns
rhs=.athena.mit.edu
EOF
# id andersk
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Expected output: uid=39270(andersk) gid=101(…) groups=101(…).
[Regression Potential]
I wrote a 6-line patch that conditionalizes an errant res_nclose call.
There is also a bigger upstream patch on the glibc 2.22 and 2.23
stable branches that entirely removes the unused abstraction that
necessitated the res_nclose calls at all. Neither patch makes any
changes outside of the glibc hesiod directory, which as of now is so
thoroughly broken that there is nothing left to regress.
