I'm still able to reproduce my errors easily on this system:
ii  nis             3.4-1          Clients and daemons for the Network Information
ii  libc6           2.1.2-0pre4    GNU C Library: Shared libraries and timezone

Client and server are the same machine

[14:23:56 root@badlands:~ 0]$ ypcat passwd
yp_all: clnt_call: RPC: Timed out
No such map passwd.byname. Reason: Internal NIS error

ypserv log shows:
