Subject: Debian Testing libc6 bug

Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.5-6

When i run the "bash" command in a machine with NIS authentication and external NFS home
i get an assetion failed.

--------------------------------------------------------
sirio:~> bash
bash: nss_nis/nis-netgrp.c:79: _nss_nis_setnetgrent: Asserzione `malloc_usable_size (netgrp->data) >= len + 1' fallita.
Segnale di annullamento
sirio:~>
--------------------------------------------------------

If i downgrade the libc6 to the stable version 2.3.2.ds1-22 it does not happen anymore.

I am using Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 upgraded to Testing, kernel 2.6.11-1-686 and libc6 2.3.5-6.
