Synopsis:	Low: nss_ldap bug fix update
Issue date:	2008-05-09

When the nss_ldap plug-in attempted to format the list of a group's membersfor an application, it did not correctly detect when the space provided to
store that list was insufficient. For large groups, this resulted in a
corrupt heap, which typically resulted in the calling application crashing,
or a segmentation fault.
