I agree with Steffen's assessment here: NIS isn't doing anything
obviously platform specific, no compiler warnings are going off and it
works fine on other Debian architectures as far as I can tell. I don't
know if the osf_syscall()s in particlar are a problem but I'm fairly
sure there's something platform specific that's upsetting glibc.
I have seen beheviour like this from older libcs caused by glibc failing
to set up thread specific data (that it decides to use off it's own
back) but that's just wild guesswork - it's a pretty generic error code
that ONC RPC is kicking back.
