Uli Drepper made some changes to this the last days, which should fix
some of the problems.
In general: NIS is not a thread safe protocol. So, even if you use it through
thread safe _r functions, the result can be different if multiple threads are
doing this at the same time. There is no way to prevent this (except that the
calling application makes sure, that a thread calling one of the setpwent,
getpw*, endpwent functions holds a global lock during the whole time or to
rewrite the getpw*_r interface to use a cookie).
