If you disable NIS, is your problem resolved?

This zsh-static is another problem, and we can't fix this problem.
During 2.3.2 - 2.3.3 development, upstream modified libnss_compat
behavior.  We need to ask zsh-static maintainer to update zsh-static
for 2.3.2-2.  The reason is libnss uses dlopen (dynamic loading), and
static binaries which is linked against old libc6 also uses the new
incompatible libnss.
