Yes, I have the exact same problem, and I was (incorrectly) told that
ypbind-mt 1.4 fixes this, but I guess it doesn't. I'm fortunate in
that my NIS server is on the same subnet, but I'm still forced to use
-broadcast -debug to force ypbind to work at all. Even then, it
starts running away and eventually using up 100% of the CPU if I also
don't specify the -no_ping option.
So, the SPARC version of the nis package is still broken.
