Well, I have seen groups with about 6500 members, and suspect I will
run into larger groups (like the all users group) with 120000 members
soon. :)

What about reading it in bulks, instead of having a buffer capable of
storing a maximum number of users?

Also, just teminating the 'getent group' call because if run into a
large group seem like a bad idea.  Can't the client and the server
negotiate on a good buffer size, and let nslcd skip groups that are
too large for the client?  Also, it is strange that 'getent group
largegroup' work, but 'getent group' terminate when it run into the
same group.

Happy hacking,
