solaris nscd cores

["j.e.r.k. ROCKS" <jerkrock () yahoo com>]

  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?
