Dear Maintainer,

The attached patch resolves nss Bug#791537.  See:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=791537

A small testcase was developed to demonstrate the problem and a
glibc bug report was filed:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19415

A glibc patch was submitted here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-01/msg00005.html

The submitted patch was backported to 2.21 and has been tested locally
for several days with no observed regressions in behavior.  nss now will
build successfully.

The submitted patch can be imported to 2.21 but it must be refreshed due
to minor file differences.  The attached change is the version tested on
2.21.

I would greatly appreciate your applying change in the next glibc update.

Thanks,
Dave
