Description Aurelien Jarno 2009-07-25 17:54:24 UTC 
If /etc/nsswitch.conf contains a modules with "[NOTFOUND=return]", and that 
module is not available (dlopen() fails), the action is actually returned. This 
is due to the fact NOTFOUND is returned if dlopen() fails instead of UNAVAIL.

Patch will follow.
