I see it too.  When I test with strace, this seem to happen because
nscd isn't running.  When I start nscd with 'service nscd restart', it
return 0.

No idea why nscd wasn't running.

Look like the correct fix, as there is no need to invalidate the nscd
caches if nscd isn't running, and thus that error should be ignore it.
We will include it, probably in beta2.  (beta1 is already wrapped up
and very close to being released.
