Title:
  segv in sudo_getgrgid

Status in sudo package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If the user is in a group with no name (because libnss-db got removed
  and the group was defined there, for example...) then:

  the call to sudo_debug_printf in sudo_getgrgid
  (plugins/sudoers/pwutil.c, line 462) causes a SEGV when trying to get
  item->d.gr->gr_name (since item->d.gr is NULL).
