nscd is crashing

[Robin Mordasiewicz]

I am using fedora core 4 x86_64 and this mornign nscd is crashing with the 
following error.

kernel: nscd[4405]: segfault at 00002aab40e00ad7 rip 00002aaaae0a4c04 rsp 
00000000404002c0 error 4

I ran an strace while starting nscd and it ended with saying

[root at pdc ~]# tail -n 30 /results.strace
