[Bug 309539] [NEW] firefox 3.0.4 / 3.0.5 + libnss_wins ibex netswitch samba = firefox crash

[bongey]

Public bug reported:

Bug description : 
Using firefox with wins enabled in /etc/netswitch.conf 
# /etc/nsswitch.conf
.....
hosts:          files  wins mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
....  
Causes firefox to crash over and over, on almost every site. 
I don't know if this incorrect to add the wins section to the netswitch or what? 
Removing the wins from the netswitch file and firefox works fine.
