clock-applet segfaults (nss_ldap)

Hi,

after the libtool-upgrade in the ports tree, I have a problem with
gnome's clock-applet:

[laverenz at pepper ~]$ /usr/X11R6/libexec/clock-applet
Segmentation fault: 11 (core dumped)

The problem seems to be related to the use of nss_ldap/pam_ldap, because
the clock-applet works when the current user has an entry in the local
passwd database. The problem can be reproduced in two different
networks with different machines.

I'm not sure if this really is a problem with Gnome, nss_ldap or FreeBSD's
implementation of nsswitch as there have been reports of problems with
other ports and nss_ldap too: linux_base-8, php4-extensions, KDE...

Is anybody else using Gnome with a ldap-based setup and can confirm this
problem?

Thank you!

Uwe
