Oh, duh.  If named weren't re-compiled it would have been fine :-)
pwd_mkdb is creating the compatibility entries correctly, but the
_PW_KEYBY* symbols in pwd.h changed values and libirs uses those.

For now I will see about giving _PW_KEYBY* their old values back,
because I don't want to take part of bind off the vendor branch in
CVS.

Thanks for the report!
