Description Eric Biederman 2011-02-01 05:30:07 UTC

Description of problem:
/usr/sbin/groupadd dumps core when groups with large memberships are present.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
shadow-utils-2:4.1.4.2-9.fc14.x86_64

How reproducible:

Removing

Comment 2 Peter Vrabec 2011-02-01 16:36:06 UTC

I have adjusted shadow-4.1.4.2-gshadow.patch in a way it does not enable gshadow functions from glibc in shadow-utils. This is a workaround, because the real problem here is bug in glibc (#674361)
