Hmm, that would need me to get libnss3 from SID, from my experience, 
this is likely to need other things updating, so, no I wouldn't like to 
try again :-D

Having said that, Devuan Jessies version is 3.17.2-1.1+deb8u2 and from 
what a quick google, Centos 7 uses 3.19.1

I don't think it is an nss problem anyway, I normally use Devuan and 
ping doesn't segfault on that, I only got it to segfault on centos 7 and 
as I never normally use this distro and couldn't easily find a way to 
debug the issue, I gave up, perhaps somebody, who normally only uses 
Centos, would care to give it a whirl ?
