Well it certainly fixes this bug.

However I suppose the correct fix would be to check to see whether nscd is 
running before attempting to stop it. If it turns out not to be running, then 
just return success instantly. It is possible for the 'stop' operation to 
fail for other reasons, and you might well want that to be reported to the 
caller of the init.d script.
