Yeap. I need to apologize here, because the first mail that I received after
subscribing and sending my email actually contained a link to the solution.
And I was too stupid to type the right key words into the search box of Google.
:-(
I have now changed /etc/nsswitch.conf and now everything works fine again, at
the expense of not querying the AD anymore. This seems to work fine for now,
but I might run into issues later.

I have run mkgroup over night to see what's going on, and our company AD
contains more than 22k groups (I aborted it after a while, the number might
even be bigger).

I'll try that! Thanks!

I wasn't subscribed to this list :-).
