On a more detailed look at this the bug is in fact based on a
misunderstanding of the purpose of ypxfrd. Rather than accepting and
acting on push requests what it does is provide a service allowing
clients to transfer maps by copying the database used to serve requests
in one transaction rather than enumerating all the values in the map.
This is much faster and less work for both ends but only works when both
client and server share the same database format.
Sorry about the confusion.
