[Bug 507089] Re: thunderbird shredder always segfaults on startup with LDAP auth in nsswitch

[Dan Woodard]

I have a similar problem.  I'm adding what may be more details to aid in
solving.  I use LDAP for authentication and I have nscd installed.
Thunderbird has been working without issue until yesterday when I
changed hosts in nsswitch.conf to use ldap as shown below;

Changed:
hosts:          files dns [NOTFOUND=return]
to the following;
hosts:          files ldap dns [NOTFOUND=return]

This change resulted in seg faults with no other warning.  I was able to
create an alternate user profile and that would work, but when trying to
get back to the current user, the seg fault would return.  Once I
changed nsswitch.conf back to using dns, the app starts without issue.

My release;
