I am confused: the defconfig has exact same problem as the error path:
it requires either having a known /etc/nsswitch.conf, or an ability to
"mock" one.
On my system, defconfig paths were not exercised at all because my
nsswitch.conf has entries for everything. It wasn't until I made a
completely empty nsswitch.conf that I observed the original leak.
So I still don't see how to write a test case for this.
