 Users from the NIS database cannot use bash or login to 
 the machine if bash is their defaul shell.  Error message is:
 -bash: nss_nis/nis-netgrp.c:79: _nss_nis_setnetgrent:
 Assertion `malloc_usable_size (netgrp-data) = len + 1`
 failed.
 
 The bug appeared today after a routine upgrade of the 
 system.  An old bash shell is still running without any
 problems.  The root can start bash normally, but the
 shell gives the same message upon ls -l ~user when user
 is in the NIS database.  
 
 It is likely that this bug is related to libc6 and not 
 bash.
