gdb "where full" results, plus a couple of variables

Description of problem:
With a working hesiod configuration, and hesiod enabled for group resolution, multiple applications are crashing while initializing a supplemental groups list.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
glibc-2.21.90-21.fc23.x86_64
coreutils-8.24-2.fc23.x86_64 used to reproduce the bug

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cat > /etc/hesiod.conf << EOF
lhs=.hs
rhs=.devel.redhat.com
EOF
2. Add "hesiod" as a source for "group" information in /etc/nsswitch.conf. Mine reads "files hesiod".
3. Run "groups nalin" or similar.

Actual results:
"groups" segfaults. I'll attach the gdb backtrace.

Expected results:
The expected groups list.
