As seen in glib-2.24.0/glib/gutils.c, line 1658, the case leading to the warning (which occurs prior to the computer freeze in my case) should be "pretty rare":

"we bail out prematurely if the user id can't be found (should be pretty rare case actually), or if the buffer should be sufficiently big and lookups are still not successfull."

Whoever owns this source might be able to provide insight?

Since the computer freezes, I haven't been able to see from which process the warning originate. So I have taken a snapshot of the process list around with pid 300-400, so I should be able to see which process was the problem next time the problem occurs.
