I have responded to all bugreports that were filed. Fact is:

- My machine is not an Alpha, I develop on x86
- The Alphas I do have access to run the Alpha NIS package without
  any problems, so I cannot reproduce the problem at all
- I have done several suggestions to people who have this problem
  but noone replied.
