            Bug ID: 15576
           Summary: sysconf may change returned value during the lifetime
                    of a process.
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.18
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org

Posix requires “The value shall not change during the lifetime of the calling
process, except that sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX) may return different values before
and after a call to setrlimit() which changes the RLIMIT_NOFILE soft limit.”

In my code review, I noticed the returned value may change over time for
TZNAME_MAX, depending on selected timezones; NPROCS, NPROCS_CONF, PHYS_PAGES,
AVPHYS_PAGES, NGROUPS_MAX, SIGQUEUE_MAX, depending on variable values read from
/proc at each call, and from rlimit-obtained values CHILD_MAX, OPEN_MAX,
ARG_MAX, SIGQUEUE_MAX.

>From <https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id�9524>:

nscd crashes while processing a netgroup entry where one or more values from
the (host,user,domain) triple are absent.  Reproducable by adding this line to
/etc/netgroup:

powerusers (,miquels,) (,torvalds,) (,fubar,)

and running getent netgroup powerusers.
