Comment 1 Thomas Backlund 2015-11-20 21:25:53 CET 
This one is actually fixed upstream a long time ago between 2.19 and 2.20:


From ac60763eac3d43b7234dd21286ad3ec3f17957fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2014 10:24:45 +0200
Subject: [PATCH] Don't ignore too long lines in nss_files (BZ #17079)

So it's already fixed as mga5 has 2.20 and cauldron has 2.22
