I will assume that you're referring to it hanging inside of glibc...

getent and ldapsearch work; finger and authentication (login, sudo, etc) do not.

This issue is fixed in upstream libnss-ldap 253 with a comment of:
253 Luke Howard <email address hidden>

        * fix crasher if an empty buffer is passed to
          initgroups (glibc NSS only)

Installing 253 fixes the issue here, I'm working on finding and backporting just that patch.
