Re: solaris nscd cores

[mikeDOTd <mikedotd () nexthop net>]

        I saw a number of nscd crashes thursday-friday on my sun.

        I have a full core, and initially I see this:

Core was generated by `/usr/sbin/nscd'.
Program terminated with signal 9, Killed.
#0  0xef7563d8 in ?? ()

        If I find anything else I'll post to the list.
