Hi!

Adding datalen in __nscd_cache_search is IMHO not correct, some databases
contain mixed type of entries (group contains grp and initgr, hosts hst and
ai responses, which have different datalen).  Additionally some databases
share one datahead with up to two hashentries and in __nscd_cache_search
we want a safe upper bound for number of hash entries.

So, IMHO the right computation is one hashentry and half of a datahead,
without any payload (or with minimum of payloads, but that doesn't make
a very big difference).

Additionally, using sizeof (struct hashentry) in nscd client looks wrong
to me.  What if a 64-bit program using nscd client is run against 32-bit
nscd?  The last union in struct hashentry contains a pointer, if
mempool_alloc allocates the hashentry at the very end of memory, the 64-bit
client would consider it to be out of range.

	* nscd/nscd_helper.c (__nscd_cache_search): Assume each entry in the
	hash chain needs one hashentry and half of datahead.  Use offseof
	instead of sizeof for struct hashentry.
