And I'm using non-exotic archlinux computers: two running x86_64 and one running on i686. I've had this problem for some time now. This might be unrelated to my other nscd bug, but I am not sure.

The only line that pops up when running nscd -d:
nscd: mem.c:392: gc: Assertion `off_alloc == off_allocend' failed.

I found it easy to reproduce: run nscd -d and wait until it crashes.
This task depends upon

This has nothing to do with pacman...

I've been suffering from it as well. I'd like to cache DNS lookups, and although I've got 4GB of RAM, it seems a bit excessive to run bind to do it :-)

Is there any upstream bugreport we can follow? If not please file one.

please give new glibc 2.9 in testing a try. if it still fails please file an upstream report and post the url here.

Voidzero, have you tested with the new glibc?

running the daemon works well here. closing this due to no helpfull user input.
