commit 31d0a4fa646db8b8c97ce24e0ec0a7b73de4fca1 Author: Florian Weimer Date: Sat Jun 11 12:12:56 2016 +0200 nss_db: Fix initialization of iteration position [BZ #20237] When get*ent is called without a preceding set*ent, we need to set the initial iteration position in get*ent. Reproducer: Add “services: db files” to /etc/nsswitch.conf, then run “perl -e getservent”. It will segfault before this change, and exit silently after it.
