Bug#418615: cyrus-imapd crashes when nss is set to group: compat ldap

Package: cyrus21-imapd
Version: 2.1.18-5.1

I've just dist-upgraded to etch and when I try to connect to the cyrus-imapd 
server I'm running I get the following on syslog:

Apr  9 14:20:29 greendragon cyrus/master[26926]: about to 
exec /usr/lib/cyrus/bin/imapd

signaled to death by 6
Apr  9 14:20:30 greendragon cyrus/master[26689]: service imaps pid 26926 in 
BUSY state: terminated abnormally

Of course, I am unable to connect.

I am using libnss-ldap and nscd and also I'm using saslauthd with pam auth for 
imapd.

I have googled and this bug seems to be the same as #145766.

Setting group: compat on nsswitch.conf (instead of group: compat ldap) solves 
the issue. However, recompiling libldap2 with --without-cyrus-sasl doesn't 
seem to fix the problem.


The configurations are the following:

imapd.conf
===========
# Debian Cyrus imapd.conf
# See imapd.conf(5) for more information and more options

# Configuration directory
configdirectory: /var/lib/cyrus

# Which partition to use for default mailboxes
defaultpartition: default
partition-default: /var/spool/cyrus/mail

# News setup
partition-news: /var/spool/cyrus/news
newsspool: /var/spool/news

# Alternate namespace
# If enabled, activate the alternate namespace as documented in
# /usr/share/doc/cyrus21-doc/html/altnamespace.html, where an user's
# subfolders are in the same level as the INBOX
# See also userprefix and sharedprefix on imapd.conf(5)
altnamespace: no

# UNIX Hierarchy Convention
# Set to yes, and cyrus will accept dots in names, and use the forward
# slash "/" to delimit levels of the hierarchy. This is done by converting
# internally all dots to "^", and all "/" to dots. So the "rabbit.holes"
# mailbox of user "helmer.fudd" is stored in "user.elmer^fud.rabbit^holes"
unixhierarchysep: no

# Munging illegal characters in headers
# Headers of RFC2882 messages must not have characters with the 8th bit
# set. However, too many badly-written MUAs generate this, including most
# spamware.  Disable this if you want Cyrus to leave the crappage untouched
# and you don't care that IMAP SEARCH won't work right anymore.
#munge8bit: no

# Forcing recipient user to lowercase
# Cyrus 2.1 is case-sensitive.  If all your mail users are in lowercase, it is
# probably a very good idea to set lmtp_downcase_rcpt to true.  The default is
# to assume the user knows what he is doing, and not downcase anything.
#lmtp_downcase_rcpt: yes

# Uncomment the following and add the space-separated users who
# have admin rights for all services.
admins: cyrus

# Space-separated list of users that have lmtp "admin" status (i.e. that
# can deliver email through TCP/IP lmtp) in addition to those in the
# admins: entry above
lmtp_admins:  Debian-exim

# Space-separated list of users that have mupdate "admin" status, in
# addition to those in the admins: entry above. Note that mupdate slaves and
# backends in a Murder cluster need to autenticate against the mupdate master
# as admin users.
#mupdate_admins: mupdateman

# Space-separated list of users that have imapd "admin" status, in
# addition to those in the admins: entry above
imap_admins: cyrus

# Space-separated list of users that have sieve "admin" status, in
# addition to those in the admins: entry above
sieve_admins: cyrus

# List of users and groups that are allowed to proxy for other users,
# seperated by spaces.  Any user listed in this will be allowed to login
# for any other user.  Like "admins:" above, you can have imap_proxyservers
# and sieve_proxyservers.
#proxyservers: cyrus

# No anonymous logins
allowanonymouslogin: no

# Minimum time between POP mail fetches in minutes
popminpoll: 1

# If nonzero, normal users may create their own IMAP accounts by creating
# the mailbox INBOX.  The user's quota is set to the value if it is positive,
# otherwise the user has unlimited quota.
autocreatequota: 0

# umask used by Cyrus programs
umask: 077

# Sendmail binary location
# DUE TO A BUG, Cyrus sends CRLF EOLs to this program. This breaks Exim 3.
# For now, to work around the bug, set this to a wrapper that calls
# /usr/sbin/sendmail -dropcr instead if you use Exim 3.
#sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail

# If enabled, cyrdeliver will look for Sieve scripts in user's home
# directories: ~user/.sieve.
sieveusehomedir: false

# If sieveusehomedir is false, this directory is searched for Sieve scripts.
sievedir: /var/spool/sieve

# notifyd(8) method to use for "MAIL" notifications.  If not set, "MAIL"
# notifications are disabled.  Valid methods are: null, log, zephyr
#mailnotifier: zephyr

# notifyd(8) method to use for "SIEVE" notifications.  If not set, "SIEVE"
# notifications are disabled.  This method is only used when no method is
# specified in the script.  Valid methods are null, log, zephyr, mailto
#sievenotifier: zephyr

# DRAC (pop-before-smtp, imap-before-smtp) support
# Set dracinterval to the time in minutes to call DRAC while a user is
# connected to the imap/pop services. Set to 0 to disable DRAC (default)
# Set drachost to the host where the rpc drac service is running
#dracinterval: 0
#drachost: localhost

# If enabled, the partitions will also be hashed, in addition to the hashing
# done on configuration directories. This is recommended if one partition has 
a
# very bushy mailbox tree.
hashimapspool: true

# Allow plaintext logins by default (SASL PLAIN)
allowplaintext: yes

# Force PLAIN/LOGIN authentication only
# (you need to uncomment this if you are not using an auxprop-based SASL
# mechanism.  saslauthd users, that means you!). And pay attention to
# sasl_minimum_layer and allowapop below, too.
sasl_mech_list: PLAIN

# Allow use of the POP3 APOP authentication command.
# Note that this command requires that the plaintext passwords are
# available in a SASL auxprop backend (eg. sasldb), and that the system
# can provide enough entropy (eg. from /dev/urandom) to create a challenge
# in the banner.
#allowapop: no

# The minimum SSF that the server will allow a client to negotiate. A
# value of 1 requires integrity protection; any higher value requires some
# amount of encryption.
#sasl_minimum_layer: 0

# The maximum SSF that the server will allow a client to negotiate. A
# value of 1 requires integrity protection; any higher value requires some
# amount of encryption.
#sasl_maximum_layer: 256

# authentications.  Seperate each realm name by a space. A cross-realm
# identity is considered any identity returned by SASL with an "@" in it.

#
# SASL library options (these are handled directly by the SASL libraries,
# refer to SASL documentation for an up-to-date list of these)
#

# The mechanism(s) used by the server to verify plaintext passwords. Possible
# values are "saslauthd", "auxprop", "pwcheck" and "alwaystrue".  They
# are tried in order, you can specify more than one, separated by spaces.
#
# Do note that, since sasl will be run as user cyrus, you may have a lot of
# trouble to set this up right.
sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd

# What auxpropd plugins to load, if using sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop
# by default, all plugins are tried (which is probably NOT what you want).
#sasl_auxprop_plugin: sasldb

# If enabled, the SASL library will automatically create authentication 
secrets
# when given a plaintext password. Refer to SASL documentation
sasl_auto_transition: no
