bash crashes on tab completion of usernames (with nss-ldap)

Hi

Well the subject says it all

I have recently update libnss-ldap (there is a whole new set of ldap stuff as all the packages are linked against gnutls).

I have file a bug report Bug#466610 against bash.

zsh and getent passwd don't seem to suffer from the problem

When i try this                                                                                                                                          
ls ~al                                                                                                                                              
malloc: unknown:0: assertion botched                                                                                                                     
free: start and end chunk sizes differ                                                                                                                   
last command: ls -l                                                                                                                                      
                                                                                                                                                         

I added some debuging printf's around a build static-bash, specifically in rl_username_completion_function.

it seems to crash when asking for the next record and that next record I have seen this in zsh or getent passwd I do not see any problems. The last good version of libnss-ldap i had was 258-1, all versions past that I have seen this problem, again only in bash.

so readers, how can I debug this further and has any one else seen this problem on their machines ?

Do you need help?

I have had a look at the libnss-ldap code and the change set is rather minor (although I have only looked at the diff not the resulting code).
