[Bug 1185699] Re: libnss-ldap crashes in libc-2.17.so when using sudo/sshd

[Jens Langner]

Of course it is possible to reproduce this on a clean 13.04 system. I
did that in fact by installing a clean 13.04 system as a virtual machine
and then just installing the libnss-ldap package together with our
modified /etc/ldap.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf. After doing so sudo
immediately crashes.

Regarding installing a local LDAP server, this is not possible in our
case. We are using a public LDAP server of our institute which contains
thousands of users and even more groups. In fact, I suspect the amount
of users and groups to be one reason for the crash, but haven't
verified/investigated that.
