I don't think the security build logs are public (even after the
advisory is released) and I hadn't noticed the buil failure before.

This looks like the right approach. The exact value of errno doesn't
make that much of a difference in this case.
I've applied this change upstream and am willing to prepare a
0.7.15+squeeze4 package. I think it's up to the security team to decide
whether this should go to stable or stable-security.
One thing to consider is that I'd also like to fix RC bug #700971 (the
bug report contains the patch that would be applied). People run into
this bug when installing a security update for nss-pam-ldapd.
Thanks for pointing this out,
