Hello,
i noticed that my email address bounced. This should be fixed now.
So the reference to previous mails is lost. Sorry for that.

I used the following code to reproduce the error:

The "print 1;" seems neccessary - dont ask me why...
I can produce any information you like if you just tell me how. I am not
very experienced in software development. So can not tell exactly tell
you what is wrong. Anything i know is summed up in this bug.

Well for me it is quite obvious. Same problem i experienced with
munin-node from munin (a tool for graphing load stats and similar). So i
could not use it. For upgrading the server i could have commented mysql
out from /etc/nsswitch.conf. Wasn't nice but worked in my environment
quite stable.
But i think this really needs to be fixed. So i provide my forces
limited by my competence to solve this.
Iirc i already mailed the adduser and the libnss-mysql developer about
this along time ago. But iirc without a result because of knowing to few
about what happened.
