Thanks for sharing this, it is the third report, that listing groups or
users in large installations leads to instability of the system (if
winbind is used in nsswitch.conf).  Can we agree that it's worth a bug
report?  Should we write a new one or use #2567?  And I also think
that severity is at least major.  This needs a little more attention.
The problem is, when winbind blocks and is used in nsswitch.conf, other
processes suffer as well.  I don't know of a way to not use winbind
in nsswitch.conf as samba would no longer possible to authenticate
users.

Thank you,
