I have not looked into it any further yet, but changing
/etc/nsswitch.conf and changing the passwd and group entries from
"compat" to "files" and re-running "make check" - all checks
passed. Whatever the problem it must be in something which changed
between 2.2.3-pre3 (which I am currently running with no problems) and
the final release. Either that or something has changed which exposes
a pre-existing bug.
