I have an upgrade problem from glibc 2.1.3 to glibc 2.1.97. When the
glibc is updated on the system, a lot of applications stop resolving
names and looking up user info. For example openssh server doesn't
work anymore without a restart.

After instrumenting the glibc 2.1.3, I found that dynamic loading of
the libnss was failing.  It seems to come from the new libnss* 2.1.97
libs that need symbols from GLIBC 2.2 which are not present because
the running programs are still linked with the 2.1.3 glibc.
