[Bug 1352504] [NEW] Regression in 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.14; segfault in getservbyname

[Alex Vandiver]

Public bug reported:

After taking security updates to 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.14 on Lucid, calls to
getservbyname() are causing segfaults; backtrace attached.  I suspect a
failure in debian/patches/any/CVE-2013-4357.diff

nscd is installed and in use as a caching layer for openldap, which use
used for passwd, group, and shadow but not services.

Needless to say, a security update that causes a regression which makes
'apt-get' segfault is quite unfortunate.
