[Bug nis/7058] New: All user apps doing host lookups crash with nis in hosts line

["sources-redhat at brej dot org" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

With nis in the hosts line before dns all user level applications which do
hostname lookups (firefox, curl, etc...) crash. 

Valgrind dump:
http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~brejc8/temp/curl.valgrind
strace of curl with nis and crash:
http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~brejc8/temp/nis_curl1.trace
strace of curl without nis:
http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~brejc8/temp/nis_curl2.trace

I suspect line 490 of nis/nss_nis/nis-hosts.c
"int parse_res = parse_line (result, &host, &data, buflen, errnop, AF_UNSPEC"
should not have & in front of host and data but I haven't been able to test it
as I am having some compile problems.
