Bug#324890: nscd does not respond
Package: nscd
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-22
Severity: critical
Tags: patch
Justification: breaks the whole system
nscd hangs and does not respond to requests when used on a 2.6.X kernel.
This can make it impossible for anyone to log in (especially when using
libnss-mysql-bg), including root (even with root in /etc/passwd).
Using LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.31 appears to fix the problem.
