Test program, compile with g++ (uses "new")

I thought I attached the program here, but seemingly I didn't -- doing so now.

Well, both is true:

Using	 getgrnam_r(name = "test", grp, buffer, bufsize=1024,result)
it only crashes with "group: compat". (Otherwise I get a ERANGE)

But using a buffer > 1024 it crashes with both group:compat and group:files
(stopping the nscd makes sense, otherwise the results can come from the cache,
I believe)

(gdb) run test
Starting program: /tmp/getent_test2 test
_SC_GETGR_R_SIZE_MAX = 1024

Call getgrnam_r(name = "test", grp, buffer, bufsize=2048,result)

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
