  Modified:    lib/libc/yp yplib.c
  Log:
  Add more sanity checks. *Lots* of sanity checks. Huge tracts of sanity checks.
  Make sure all arguments to the yp_*() functions are valid before sending
  them off to the server. This is somewhat distressing: once again my
  FreeBSD box brought down my entire network because of NIS bogosities.
  I *think* the poor argument checking in this module is the cause, but
  I still haven't been able to reproduce the exact series of events that
  lead to the ypserv crashes. For now I've resorted to sticking my FreeBSD
  box in a seprate domain. Hopefully a weekend of heavy testing will
  uncover the problem.
