[Bug nis/962] New: traditional netgroup logins impossible

["dvandeun at wilma dot vub dot ac dot be" <sourceware-bugzilla at sources dot redhat dot com>]

Since 2.3.4 using netgroups the old-fashioned way (+@ in /etc/passwd) does
not work anymore.  Trying to log in through such a group gives:

-bash: nss_nis/nis-netgrp.c:79: _nss_nis_setnetgrent: Assertion
`malloc_usable_size (netgrp->data) >= len + 1' failed.

Everything actually works fine without that assert statement (well, it did
in 2.3.4, I haven't really tested 2.3.5 yet, only noticed the problem
again.)

(Problem encountered on slackware i486, i.e. very vanilla, no PAM.)
