The expected behavior of libnss-ldap is that at the end of the group

actually behaves is that getgrent() returns NULL and errno is set to
ENOENT. This results in problems for a few programs like id becaues
getgrent() is not behaving as documented in the manpages.
This is odd, very odd... out of 5 systems at hand (all current Sid,
2 x86_64, the rest x86_32), only one exhibits this erroneous behaivour.
Then, on the one system, only system users (not fully in LDAP) return
that error - general user accounts (ie cowboy) work just fine.
Did this perchance start with the move to the newer libldap ?

It's not usually cost effective time wise to go do it. But if something's
really pissing you off, you just go find the code and fix it and that's
really cool.
