      Has anyone else seen core dumps from their Solaris nscd process
    recently?  At 11:07 CST yesterday, two different Internet-facing
    machines in my network saw their nscd processes dump core.  The file
    system filled up in both cases, so I actually didn't get a full core
    file.  GDB tells me:
    
    Core was generated by `/usr/sbin/nscd'.
    Program terminated with signal 9, Killed.
    Cannot access memory at address 0xef7efdec.
    #0  0xef7663d8 in ?? ()Cannot access memory at address 0xef7efdec.
    (gdb) bt
    #0  0xef7663d8 in ?? ()Cannot access memory at address 0xef7efdec.
    
    
    I am running with patch 109339-01, which fixes a mysterious buffer
    overflow bug in nscd (Sun released a proactive advisory back in
    November 2000, along with this patch), but this definitely makes me
    nervous.  Has anyone else encountered this issue?
