I have committed the attached fix. Please comment. I think that it is ok to ignore rpcinfo -p error messages entirely, since if portmapper is nonfunctional, nobody can connect to ypserv anyway. The only case where this assumption does not hold is (1) portmap and ypserv start (2) nscd starts, talks to portmap, connects to ypserv (3) portmap dies (4) ypserv and nscd keep running. I consider this case a local failure. Thanks to Peter Samuelson for his opinion and help in addressing this issue.
