Comment 18 for bug 57214

Package: nscd
Version: 2.3.6.ds1-13etch2
Followup-For: Bug #344563

well yes: the "nscd: cache.c:335: prune_cache: Assertion `dh->usable' failed."
bug still exists on current etch.

actually it just re-occured; i haven't experienced it for a while.
the only notable change on my side was that i did a security-upgrade the day
before yesterday, which - according to the logs - included perl and horde3.
so i don't think this is related.

deleting the db-files in /var/db/nscd/ seems to have solved the problem.

btw, this is the last request that was made when running "nscd -d" before it crashed:
29453: Reloading "10001243920.0000020425.acesso.oni.pt" in hosts cache!
nscd: cache.c:335: prune_cache: Assertion `dh->usable' failed.
Aborted

it crashed 2 times in a row just after this request.
then i deleted the db-files and the problem was gone.

so i guess the db-file was corrupted just at the mentioned host-entry.
