[Bug nis/5378] New: nss_compat: Crash on initgroups() NSS query failure


In nss_compat's getgrent_next_nss(), when the initial NSS query on initgroups()
succeeds but the subsequent nss_getgrgid_r() query fails, the data buffer is
left with garbage which subsequently makes check_and_add_group() crash. This can
occur e.g. with nss_ldap when the server goes down in the middle of a massive
volume of requests (e.g. in nscd).
