--- Comment #3 from Justin N. Ferguson <jf at ownco dot net> ---
If I was filing a bug against the allocator, then this would be a valid
response. I filed a bug against nsswitch.c, which is operating off of heap
metadata and only works because the prev_size field is generally NULL.
You could just fix it so the function operates on the correct pointer.
I switched the status to 'WONTFIX', because that is correct, not 'INVALID'.
