That's what was my thought, too. Because (un)setting it back cures the crash.

Looking into it now.
Doesn't crash or anything so far. (With `db_enum: local' set.)
Tried a few utilities, as well as your example get*ent code.
BTW, can we have it as one "getent"[1] tool for the next release?

Going to play with different settings, I will post if I find anything
unexpected.
