There are two issues with the forced loop exit in the nscd lookup:
1. the estimate of the entry size isn't pessimistic enough for all
databases, resulting potentially is too early exits
2. the combination of 64-bit process and 32-bit nscd would lead to
rejecting valid records in the database.
The nscd database mapped in processes can change at any time. We
have to be more vigilant when it comes to using that memory. Test
the data entries are valid in their entire size, don't read data
again from memory once we verified it, and make sure the trailing
pointer is not going off the deep end.
Because we are not shutting down the other threads first another
thread might work on a query before the process shuts down. In this
case the now uninitialized libselinux and libaudit might be used.
Just don't free the resources. It's not necessary anyway because
the process is about to terminate.
