Hello.

There is a bug in libnss-ldap that makes some applications fail because of an 
assertion failure. The assertion failure is similar to this one:

ldap-nss.c:1312: do_init: Assertion 
`cfg->ldc_uris[__session.ls_current_uri] != ((void *)0)' failed.

This problem is repeated on several bug reports for different packages: 
#375533, #418615 and #418619.

As you can see on http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=375533#131 
the bug was fixed in upstream in version 255, but a backport of the fix has 
never been done in etch. There is even a patch for version 251:
 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=131;filename=libnss-ldap_251-7.02.diff;att=1;bug=375533

It would be nice to see this bug solved in etch, because of the annoying 
nature of it. In my case, it made both mailscanner and cyrus-imapd fail, 
giving little information, when using ldap because /etc/libnss-ldap had 
permissions 600.

PS: I will happily provide any further information needed, but i think that 
the information on the mentioned bug reports should be enough.

Thaks,

Daniel Estevez
