 I just ran across this bug in FreeBSD 9.2 amd64.  The odd thing is that I'm=
  migrating from 8.3 i386 and those systems don't have the issue with the sa=
 me NIS maps.  So it worked for me on FreeBSD 8.2 i386 & 8.3 i386, but not 9=
 .2 amd64.  Go figure.

 I figured I should email in to push to get this patch added into the releas=
 es.  The patch work for me although the line numbers were off by ~120.  I g=
 uess a bit of code has been added since FreeBSD 6.
