No, I am not running nscd.

This problem is reproducible.

It also seems like the list of users having this problem is growing. We went
from five accounts (out of around 1300) last week to six or seven this week.
That includes the original five plus the new ones.

Quick reminder: 'getent passwd' works for these accounts, but getpwnam()
fails.
