I have the same problem.

Ditto here. It is mitigated by disabling LDAP authentication. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ May 12 12 segfault at 7f032593c3bf ip 7f0235aa3f28 sp 42225d00 error 4 in nscd[7f0235a93000+1e000] May 13 10 segfault at 7f70be3ce3bf ip 7f6fcc56af28 sp 40e91d00 error 4 in nscd[7f6fcc55a000+1e000] May 13 12 segfault at 41261000 ip 7f281c733eee sp 4125fb50 error 6 in nscd[7f281c722000+1e000] May 13 14 segfault at 7f752be45438 ip 7f752a037e16 sp 420ffab0 error 4 in nscd[7f752a026000+1e000] May 13 16 segfault at bb0 ip 7fdd43c7ce29 sp 41bb6b10 error 4 in nscd[7fdd43c6b000+1e000] May 13 16 segfault at 7fb2aa376744 ip 7fb27223ecd2 sp 4061eb90 error 6 in nscd[7fb27222d000+1e000] May 14 10 SELinux is preventing gnotravex (games_t) "write" to socket (nscd_var_run_t).

Not really. In my case it happens frequently on three different machines none of which has LDAP authentication enables. All three just have local accounts.

Getting this on a fully-updated F9 x86_64 box using local authentication. It *seems* to only happen when logged into my VPN (using NetworkManager + vpnc), so I think it's not liking something about the switch in resolv.conf.
