Still exists.  I just:

1. vi'd a file
2. kill'd ypbind
3. tried to make a change in vi
4. vi said:
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
Information on user id 5275 not found.
Modifications not recoverable if the session fails
(long pause)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

on 2.2.2-RELEASE .  I'm not running NIS on my 3.0-CURRENT box, but
if I

1. vi file
2. remove myself from the passwd file & rebuild indexes
3. make a change
4. I also get:
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
Information on user id 5275 not found. 
Modifications not recoverable if the session fails
(lock up)
USER     PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS  TT  STAT STARTED      TIME COMMAND
5275    9023 96.9 27.1 32020 5964  p7  R+    8:47AM   3:54.41 vi

so the symptom is slightly different; not clear if that's 2.2 vs. 3.0
or NIS vs. non-NIS.

Hmm, I just noticed that it's allocating memory like a banshee:
USER     PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS  TT  STAT STARTED      TIME COMMAND
5275    9023 96.2 31.3 46484 6900  p7  R+    8:47AM   5:39.68 vi

so it probably ends up dumping core then the allocation fails.

This is 3.0-current from May or so, but vi hasn't been changed since
then.

  Bill
