Just for the record, Brian brought this up on debian-devel back in March in this thread: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/03/msg00298.html
This is a serious bug in gcrypt/gnutls. These libraries are modifying global process state in a very intrusive and unjustified way, in this case dropping root privs when you do a simple NSS passwd/group database lookup(!) This isn't something that can be fixed in schroot; please could you reassign it to libgcrypt. I hope that in the future, pam_ldap can use a library other than gcrypt/gnutls given its severe brokenness and upstream cluelessness.
