> Due to the following bug in SSSD, functions like getpwuid_r are not thread-safe in RHEL 6.0 if sssd is specified in /etc/nsswitch.conf (as it is by default):
> https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/640
> This causes many fetch failures in the case that the native libraries are available, since the SecureIO functions call getpwuid_r as part of fstat. By enabling -Xcheck:jni I get the following trace on JVM crash:
> *** glibc detected *** /mnt/toolchain/JDK6u20-64bit/bin/java: free(): invalid pointer: 0x0000003575741d23 ***
> ======= Backtrace: =========
> /lib64/libc.so.6[0x3575675676]
> /lib64/libnss_sss.so.2(_nss_sss_getpwuid_r+0x11b)[0x7fe716cb42cb]
> /lib64/libc.so.6(getpwuid_r+0xdd)[0x35756a5dfd]
