Bug#311370: Unwanted "security" precautions in nss_compat

[Anton Ivanov <arivanov@sigsegv.cx>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-21
Severity: important


nss_compat module recently started to ignore groups with under 1000 gids 
and there are no means to configure it mentioned in the documentation. 
As a result any network groups inherited from old times where 500 was 
a popular cutoff will not be visible without hacking nss_switch.conf 
to add an explicit "nis" entry for groups 

Can't find the actual problem in the changelog so this has most likely
crept up as a part of other patches.
