I especially like "based on testing". And the fact that this NEWER version is around 15 YEARS OLD, and I found it in about 10 minutes of searching.
Another rather important comment found in the diff:
+# It is advised if you run postgresql on the same server as libnss-pgsql that you have
+# ssl connection turned off in your connection string.
+# You can hang your machine attempting to connect to the postgresql database.
+# sslmode=disable
+#
+# http://
+#
+# Without a running nscd, PQconnectdb attempts to setup the SSL
+# environment and searches for $HOME/.
+# calling getpwuid to retrieve the home-directory. This obviously causes
+# another entrance into libnss-pgsql which results in a hang while waiting
+# for the (already owned) lock.
That hang is actually why I went searching in the first place.
