[Bug libc/430] nsswitch.conf doesn't support TRYAGAIN=forever, giving bogus results when NIS is not responding

Perhaps not, because fixing errno handling is only to defang one of Drepper's
bogus arguments. getpwnam() and thereabouts do not offer standard errno values
to allow for distinguishing permanent from intermittent errors in IEEE
1003.1-2001, 2004 edition and hence software needs to be fully functional even
if it's not designed to handle ESRCH or EAGAIN.
