Can you see if the patch on http://www.python.org/sf/775964
 fixes this?

I have had this patch sitting in my source tree for Some
Time, waiting for time to test it. :-/

I do not use NIS. But I don't know what SuSE really puts
into the "compat" NSS module.

>From my /etc/nsswitch.conf:

passwd: compat
group:  compat

Do you use YP/NIS? If so, this is a known problem, and is
documented on the bugs page for 2.3.4. I really should get
around to checking those fixes in...
