If you have real bugs, please file them upstream and come talk to the community.Btw, if anyone thinks this is something that libnss-ldapd does wrong, please let me know. Not all NSS interfaces are consistent in terms of memory management, return codes, etc. so there could be something wrong.They should be consistent. Again, if you find something wrong, please file a bug. The upstream glibc community is radically different now and certainly more accepting of discussions on these issues. Cheers, Carlos.
How can I help getting this fixed? I can easily reproduce crashes / hangings in a Debian Edu based setup.
If any of you could provide me with an update glibc / nscd containing the relevant patches, I can easily give feedback.
The errors take a while before they occur, so I can only give delayed feedback when a new build for testing is available.
Would it make sense to test glibc from experimental (i.e., rebuild on a jessie system and install it there)? Or can one of the Debian pkg maintainers go through the upstream commits relevant and provide me with a patched glibc based on the version in Debian jessie?
I'd prefer of the glibc maintainer in Debian could play proxy between Debian BTS and upstream BTS.
