getent group fails

Hello,

I'm under x86, with no /etc/nsswitch.conf, and my /etc/passwd and group
files with 1 line each (me and 'Domain Users'). The command
'getent group' seems to loop forever on the 'Users' group:

% /usr/bin/getent group
Domain Users:S-1-5-21-878717028-1334384809-310601177-513:10513:
+Users:S-1-5-32-545:545:
...
+Users:S-1-5-32-545:545:
^C
%

'getent passwd' seems ok (9 lines): my line and 8 lines beginning
with '+’.

I tried several snapshots (including 20140507), and this bahaviour
was already present in snapshot 20140410 (the first one where the
"Corinna's prize-winning passwd/group rewrite" was reintroduced). It
was not present in snapshot 20140305.

Regards,

Denis Excoffier.
