Does anyone use nscd?

Any chance of getting a backtrace from an unpatched nscd?  Ideally with
the change described here:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/136073#reply1

To test, stop nscd, then run it from the command line like so:

$ su -
# cd /tmp
# ulimit -c 0
# /usr/sbin/nscd -nst
(do something in another terminal that causes it to crash)
# echo backtrace | gdb -batch -x /dev/stdin /usr/sbin/nscd nscd.core

and send me the output from both nscd and gdb once it crashes.
