Holy schnikeys, apparently bind doesn't use the libc getpwent(3)
functions, but rather it uses its own libirs.

Did you re-run pwdb_mkdb ?  If I messed up the backwards-compatibility
code, then I suppose it could break libirs (which apparently has
intimate knowledge of the format of /etc/pwd.db -- ugh).

I'm investigating.
Cheers,
