You need to either disable ldap useflag on source build or start nscd either way not much mozilla can do when nss_ldap/openldap are installed on the system. This has nothing to do with glibc I have nscd running, always. (ldap use flag set, nss_ldap and openldap installed) This configuration worked just fine until 28th March. Tell a small lie. I have nscd configured to start, but it doesn't. akira ~ # /etc/init.d/nscd start * Starting Name Service Cache Daemon ... mkdir: cannot create directory '': No such file or directory start-stop-daemon: unrecognized option '--foreground' Usage: start-stop-daemon [options] ... <list of usage options> akira ~ # etc-update Scanning Configuration files... Exiting: Nothing left to do; exiting. :) So this is what stops thunderbird[ldap] from working? That feels very wrong somehow. Just had chance to look into this further. glibc-2.17 unmasks the nscd use flag. If it's not set, you get a broken (not just because nscd doesn't exist) nscd init script (new bug), and a broken thunderbird[ldap]. Should thunderbird[ldap] depend on glibc[nscd] or at least give a warning or indication what the problem is? I don't think segmentation fault really helps.

I will add an additional ewarn if openldap/nss_ldap is installed on the system, the dep of nscd on glibc is not needed unless either package is installed. this is wholly a bug in thunderbird's libldap60.so #0 0x00007ffff6e6aeb8 in strtok_r () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #1 0x00007ffff68d2eae in ldap_str2charray () from /usr/lib64/thunderbird/libldap60.so #2 0x00007fffdedb0d05 in ??
