Comment 2 for bug 1174444

Hi Bryan,

I hope this helps a little. I am also affecting by this bug.

Our company are currently in the process of evaluating Ubuntu as a means of offering our empoyees the chance to work on a Linux OS.

The problem occurs after I joined our company's domain, thus getting all my AD groups. I cannot publish the results of the getent group or password, but to give you an idea of the scale:

groupoutput contains 343 entries. Of those entries, around 20 are ~2000 character in length (containing a large number of usernames)
passwdoutput contains 35 entries with nothing spectacular.

I would be very helpful if a solution could be found for 12.04 as the management would like to stay with the LTS Release.

Thanks for all the good work.
