Hi Rob,

I just verified with a fresh installation of bookworm and it perfectly works. My
first hypothesis could be about a gdbm-related breakage. It is somethig already
seen in the past and even annotatedi at sect.9 of the Debian HOWTO.
NEVER CROSS THE STREAMS (cit.). GDBM is quite weak in managing changes in file formats due to external conditions
(e.g. changes in compiler/optimizations/ecc.)

Could you plese run yptest on your serveri and send anomalies in result?
Is this a single NIS master or do you have slaves ? Could you please regenerate gdbm stuff by ypinit -m after cleaning up maps?

Anywyay, my next step will be preparing an upgrading box to test 
bullseye->bookworm, stay tuned.

Dear Maintainer,

Recently upgraded our NIS master from buster to bullseye.
when I run
cd /var/yp; make
several apps fail to run and seg fault, for example

/usr/lib/yp/yphelper  --hostname
Segmentation fault


yppush -d example.com ypservers
Segmentation fault

makedbm does appear to make valid files when run from the cmd line
