Hi Corinna,

As I saw no response to your latest call for testers,  I decided to test it
myself ... (x86-XP, SP3).

 - setup "Cygwin" (base) in a different directory
 - applied tar ball (17/2 snapshot) as instructed at

   http://cygwin.com/faq-nochunks.html#faq.setup.snapshots

After I had set up /etc/nsswitch.conf as follows

db_enum: files

the output of getpwent and getgrent looked "familiar" to me. (though the
output of 'id' is not).

However, after I had modified /etc/nsswitch.conf as follows

db_enum: local

getpwent crashed (segment violation) ...

Henri
